I had an opportunity to serve on the Seattle Design Commission through the Get Engaged program. It was a great experience and would HIGHLY recommend serving in this capacity if you are desire to help make Seattle a great place to live. The other board members were great. They welcomed me onto the team and allowed me to have a voice. Great experience!
Great to hear, Adam! Thank you for serving and for encouraging others to do so.
cheers,
Roni
