Central Washington University Board of Trustees October 17, 2019
INFORMATION – Community Engagement On the Morning of October 17, 2019, members of the President’s Cabinet will join trustees for a breakfast discussion of CWU’s role in the Ellensburg community. The purpose of the discussion is to help board members understand the degree to which CWU is contributing to the prosperity and quality of life of the community. As well, the board seeks to know how CWU can be more effective partners in the community. Community engagement is an essential part of CWU’s mission, which pledges to “produce research, scholarship, and creative expression in the public interest; and to serve as a resource to the region and the state through effective stewardship of university resources.” In fall 2018, the board directed the president to, “Prioritize public service and community engagement in each of the communities in which CWU has a physical location.” Community members at the breakfast will include: • Brett Wachsmith, Kittitas County Board of Commissioners, District 3 • Bruce Tabb, Mayor of the City of Ellensburg • Carolyn Honeycutt, Executive Director of CenterFuse (Ellensburg Business Development Authority) • Jinger Haberer, Superintendent of the Ellensburg School District • Julie Peterson, Chief Executive Officer, Kittitas Valley Hospital • Ken Wade, Chief of Ellensburg Police • Molly Jones, Executive Director of the Ellensburg Downtown Association • Monica Miller, Executive Director of Gallery One / Vice Chair Ellensburg Arts Commission • Peggy Morache, Executive Director of FISH Community Food Bank • Steve Townsend, Vice Chair of the Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce & Managing Partner, Windrow hotel
