Our theme is Transform, Inspire, and Lead. Future of Flight Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) non- profit that serves as the operator of the Future of Flight Aviation Center & Boeing Tour facility, which is owned by Snohomish County. The Future of Flight Aviation Center & Boeing Tour debuted in fall 2005 as a unique aviation interpretive center and the home of the tour of the Boeing Everett, WA assembly plant. 2013 was a transformational year for the Future of Flight Foundation. Our accomplishments: • Our Board of Directors worked closely with our partners (Snohomish County and the Boeing Company) signing a ten (10) year operations agreement. • The Future of Flight achieved a new milestone, increasing attendance by 100% since 2006, the first full year after opening, for an all time high of 248,273 paid tour visitors in 2013. • We held two fundraisers, which helped raise the visibility of our organization and mission and our philanthropic commitment of supporting STEM education. • Our founding Executive Director Barry Smith retired and was honored during our Gala by naming an education program “The Barry Smith Flights of Innovation Program.” • Our Board of Directors engaged the executive search firm Herd Freed and Hartz to search for a new Executive Director. We are proud to announce Bonnie Hilory as our Executive Director. She started on February 17, 2014. Our purpose is to strengthen and deepen the visitor experience and provide students with hands-on STEM related education programs. We are able to achieve this due to the generosity of our partners, sponsors, members and donors.

  • Long-Term Recovery Executive Summary
    SR 530 MUDSLIDE LONG-TERM RECOVERY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On March 22, 2014, a catastrophic landslide affected several communities in northwest Washington when an unstable hillside gave way. A wall of mud buried an entire neighborhood, taking 43 lives and closing State Highway 530, the physical and economic lifeline for the region. In response to the disaster, Washington State University (WSU) assembled a multi-disciplinary team to support the long-term recovery of the impacted communities. WSU’s efforts have included: ■ ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: WSU helped craft an award-winning regional Economic Redevelopment Plan that has become the basis for leading the community to the final stages of a $10 million competition. ■ BROADBAND COMMUNICATION: WSU assessed regional telecommunications and is working to improve regional broadband access. ■ COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: WSU’s Darrington-based coordinator integrated the University’s efforts with local entities to bolster infrastructure, tourism, and recreation projects. ■ ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT: WSU assisted the community in creating a natural resource STEM program to support middle and high school students. ■ YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: WSU’s programming helped youth cope with the tragedy of the slide while allowing them to stay in their community. ■ TRAUMA-INFORMED SCHOOLS: WSU is working with schools in Darrington to address students’ long-term emotional recovery from the slide. ■ WSU STUDENT ENGAGEMENT: WSU students have made significant contributions to recovery efforts through community internships, fundraising, and volunteer service trips. ■ GOVERNOR’S LANDSLIDE COMMISSION: WSU facilitated a 12-member commission toward the swift completion of a report which identified critical lessons learned from the slide. ■ SAUK-SUIATTLE TRIBE: WSU is developing a design to be used by the tribe to expand their reservation beyond its current flood-prone location.

Introduction In ancient times, parties wishing to exchange their goods often came to a clearing, or “common ground,” where each could lay down their trading items without fear of attack or treachery. Recognizing the mutual advantage of allowing traders to complete their exchanges, all parties trusted each other to leave their weapons well back in the woods. The modern usage of the term “common ground” has come to mean the exchange of ideas rather than trade goods, but the need for a forum that enables open discussion and the ability to present different ideas without reprisal remains valid.
