Whatcom Futures Project Vision Committee Members

The Whatcom Futures project staff spent many hours assembling the team of individuals below.  The participants on the Vision Committee include regional leaders selected thoughtfully by the NWEC Board and project staff.  The committee was designed to represent a broad range of business and community interests.

The Vision Committee led and developed the Whatcom County Futures themes and priorities.  They represented Whatcom County stakeholders’ perspectives as they developed drafts of the Vision and potential action steps.  Vision Committee members participated in five workshops to provide their valuable input for this project.
