With over 25 years in local government and public policy, Vangie is passionate about helping others help themselves to make the world a better place. Being a public servant for most her life, working professional in the public sector was a natural fit.
Driven to be a positive role model for her twin daughters, Vangie combines artistic expression and systems-thinking to improve processes. An artist at heart, she leverages both creativity and analytical skills to develop and implement strategies for greater efficiency. She is a decisive, innovative change agent who enjoys fostering team-wide collaboration and setting strategic direction. Vangie has tried to improve the quality of life for communities in the Pacific Northwest through program management, project delivery and public engagement. Vangie believes that every person and organization has a unique journey – the path that led them to the present moment and the road ahead. Neither has to define the other but it is always connected. History has shown, time and again, when people truly listen that amazing things are possible.
