News about The Evergreen State Society

• At its August meeting, the board invited Sherry Shanabarger to become a director. She is a Program Coordinator for a clinical trial at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and a long-term volunteer for the Seattle International Film Festival. Over the past couple of years, she has been actively assisting the Society with planning and communications activities. She joins Gene Edgar, chair, Teri Clifford and Sunny Speidel.
  
• The website at www.TESS.org has a crisp new look and simplified navigation. The welcome page lists the next events the Society is organizing and offers links to necessary details. Other links connect to useful information for and about nonprofits in Washington and beyond. Thanks to Sarah Park for her editorial insights and technical proficiency as the new website design is implemented.
  
• BrownBag and Schmoozefest both have new program managers. Ellen Zick has picked up the BrownBag portfolio from Joseph Smith after a little more than a year under his leadership. Joe Smith is now the controller for Sea-Mar. Mary Leake is the new organizer for Schmoozefest as Carol Walter moves into the challenge of the Master of Not-for-Profit Leadership program at Seattle University. Say hullo to the new volunteers, and thank you to our colleagues who are scaling back as they accept new challenges, at an upcoming Society event.
  
• One day soon the subscribers to NonprofitNetworking (there are nearly a thousand of them) will find an announcement in their incoming email that the familiar discussions of nonprofit issues in the greater Seattle area have been moved to a new host. From that time forward, the address for circulating announcements through this service will be NonprofitNetworking@TESS.org. Michelle Sheiman will continue to administer this service of The Evergreen State Society after she completes the many steps of the transition.
  
• Marie Sauter, who worked with us on Front Steps while we were publishing that newsletter about neighborliness, is back as part of our volunteer team, working on this newsletter as its Managing Editor.
