Our Board of Directors
Deep partnerships between community, faith, labor, and environmental organizations are essential to building equity in the Puget Sound region.
In order to transform our communities, we need to build deep, lasting relationships across sectors in order to build power and bring lasting change. As such, Puget Sound Sage's board is a coalition of labor, faith, community, and environmental leaders throughout the region, who are committed to base-building and are accountable to local low-wage workers, immigrants and refugees, and communities of color.
