The past year was marked by many significant achievements and opportunities, helping us define key areas for growth in 2019. At Boys & Girls Clubs, our goal is to provide a world-class Club experience that ensures success is within reach of every young person who comes through our doors. In 2018, we continued to dig deeply into program quality by focusing on academic access and social & emotional development. We prepared 6,341 kids and teens for college, careers, and their life through our academic support programs. To support this important work, we saw a significant increase in philanthropic support from our community of individual and institutional partners. The immense generosity of these caring individuals and institutions allowed us to invest time and effort into how we can most efficiently reach more kids and have greater impact. Eddie Pasatiempo, Past Chair 2018 laid the groundwork for establishing a highly effective community engagement program and resulted in a significant increase in our contributions over the previous financial year. This fundraising success has ignited this work and positioned us to welcome more young people, serve them in the best way possible, and continue to be a cornerstone resource for our kids. Over the next year, we will vigorously pursue new possibilities to reach underserved communities. Sustained and deepened philanthropic relationships are an integral part of our ability to unleash the potential in youth throughout Greater Seattle. Thank you for being a part of this community and a partner in our work to ensure all kids, especially those who need us most, have access to Boys & Girls Clubs. You are making a significant impact.

    Matthew Leopold Christopher Hladick EPA General Counsel, EPA EPA Region 10 Administrator William Jefferson Clinton Bldg. EPA 1200 Sixth Ave – RA 140 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Seattle, WA 98101 Washington, DC 20460 August 25, 2020 Dear EPA General Counsel Leopold and Region 10 Administrator Hladick: As American businesses and entrepreneurs that depend on Bristol Bay's sustainable wild salmon runs, we are writing to express our concerns with the proposed Pebble Mine. There is well-documented science, including the EPA's own Bristol Bay Watershed Assessment, showing that Pebble poses serious risks to the Bristol Bay watershed, its world-renowned fisheries, and Indigenous communities. Protecting Bristol Bay is not only the right thing to do, but it's the economically responsible thing to do at a time when our country cannot afford to lose more jobs, income, or domestic food production. The waters of Bristol Bay are home to the world's most productive and valuable wild salmon fishery. That fishery supplies roughly half of the world's sockeye salmon, supports more than 14,000 fishing and seafood jobs, and generates over $1.5 billion of annual economic activity. Bristol Bay is the cornerstone of the Alaska seafood industry, with record-breaking harvests in recent years. For recreational purposes, Bristol Bay represents one of the planet's finest destinations for sport fishing, hunting, and wildlife viewing, drawing tens of thousands of visitors from across the country and around the world every year. The Pebble Mine jeopardizes all of this, and yet the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has floated this project through the permitting process despite the EPA's peer- reviewed science showing that Pebble would pose “unacceptable adverse impacts.” We appreciate the resources and staff time that went into the EPA's extensive analyses and respect the EPA's expertise on this matter.

  • Seattle a Digital Community Still in Transition Jessica Durkin, Tom Glaisyer, and Kara Hadge, Media Policy Initiative June 2010, Release 2.0
    New America Foundation An Information Community Case Study: Seattle A digital community still in transition Jessica Durkin, Tom Glaisyer, and Kara Hadge, Media Policy Initiative June 2010, Release 2.0 Seattle, Washington, could be considered a city singularly suited to develop a healthy democracy in the digital age. The city government, citizens and business have created a productive environment for the next generation of information-sharing and community engagement. Years of economic growth and relative prosperity have fostered new, superior practices in news and information. Yet, losing a major print newspaper, as Seattle did when The Seattle Post-Intelligencer closed, adversely affects a community, by leaving it with one less place to provide public service journalism, stories about people and general community updates. In parallel, Seattle has been at the center of an explosion of alternative news outlets, especially online, which has created a critical mass of information portals for geographic and social communities. As the Knight Report, Informing Communities: Sustaining Democracy in a Digital Age, highlights, it is important to understand that there are three important elements to be considered as we analyze media and democracy in the 21st century: • availability of relevant and credible information to all Americans and their communities; • capacity of individuals to engage with information; and • individual engagement with information and the public life of the community. However, despite the relative vibrancy of the media scene, and even with all its demographic and other advantages, it is unclear how much of this innovation is sustainable. The local web is littered with websites that are no longer updated, and few of the startups boast anything like the journalistic firepower or profitability of the papers of the past.

  • NASRC 2018 Annual Report
    NASRC 2018 Annual Report The North American Sustainable Refrigeration Council WWW.NASRC.ORG 2 A LETTER FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 2018 was our biggest and most rewarding year yet at the NASRC. Together with our members and partners, we made great strides towards achieving our mission. From driving incentives for natural refrigerant technologies at both the utility and state levels, to developing new training resources and tools for contractors, to filling gaps in codes and standards, every activity is focused on taking action to overcome the barriers preventing the widespread adoption of natural refrigerants. Three years ago, a group of industry leaders formed the NASRC as a 501c3 environmental nonprofit structured to address the barriers to natural refrigerant adoption by working directly with industry stakeholders. They decided it was time to stop talking about the issues slowing the adoption of natural refrigerants and bring the industry together to take action. Today, that same spirit of direct action, leadership, and responsibility is embedded in every aspect of our organization. NASRC’s core strength is our network of members that contribute their time and resources towards our initiatives. Their energy and enthusiasm are behind all of our accomplishments. Together, we’ve built a strong community of over 110 members. Most notably, there has been a tremendous growth in participation from end-users, with over 22,000 supermarket locations in North America, representing nearly 60% of US supermarket locations. This year, we also welcomed three new members to our Board of Directors, Jim McClendon of Walmart, Brad Person of SEER2, and Michael May of Hillphoenix.
