March 14, 2019:  The last week of class ended on a high note as Evergreen’s MPA first year core course, Doing Democratic Public Administration, held a Women in Leadership panel.  The panelists were (left to right): Miriam Barnett, CEO of YWCA Pierce County, Teresa Berntsen, Director for WA State Dept. of Licensing, WA State Supreme Court Justice Barbara Madsen, and Kelly Sullivan, Executive Director of Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe. The panelists shared insight into how they developed into leaders over the course of their respective careers, and responded to questions from students.  The panelists stayed afterwards to talk with students one-on-one.
