2022 Women of Achievement Award Honoree Bios 수상

예술과 문화 – 던 월스키

Dawn Wolski is Inland Northwest Opera’s (INO) first female general and artistic director and has significantly changed the landscape of performing arts in Spokane in her nearly five-year tenure. On the heels of a successful international singing career and two enlistments in the Unites States Army, she brought a small opera company back from the brink of closure, and in-turn, has created many opportunities for local singers to perform alongside world-renowned professionals. She is incredibly intentional when casting roles and tries to ensure there are opportunities for all singers to be represented. Not only was INO’s 2021 Mainstage opera, 오르페우스와 에우리디케, 전원 여성으로 구성된 주요 출연진이 이끄는 Dawn은 현재 INO에서 주로 여성으로 구성된 경영진을 이끌고 있습니다. 그녀는 지난 1년 동안 팀을 세 배로 확장했습니다.

Dawn is the driving force behind the growth and international reputation of the region’s only professional opera company. Through fundraising efforts, inclusive repertoire choices, and cultivating an active and deeply invested board, Dawn has not only quadrupled audiences and more than doubled INO’s budget size, but she has fostered essential partnerships with local arts organizations Ð even changing the name from Opera Coeur d’Alene to Inland Northwest Opera to serve the whole region more equitably. She oversaw INO’s critical partnership with the Spokane Symphony in 2017, which yielded multiple subsequent fully-staged productions at the Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox.

Dawn is particularly passionate about the Inland Northwest commitment to nurture our own.Ê As INO’s general director, she has fostered relationships with every local university, proud to offer the only professional opera outlet in the region to both emerging and established artists in the field. ÊShe is further devoted to education of our youth, believing that meaningful and engaging connection to the arts can and should begin at any age!Ê From INO’s children’s opera program, to providing masterclasses and private instruction both at home and at local universities, she believes in filling in the gaps that waning arts education can leave behind.

Dawn은 투사이자 지칠 줄 모르는 옹호자입니다. 팬데믹 초기에 아티스트의 잘못 없이 공연이 취소되자 Dawn은 가수와 감독에게 준비 비용을 지급할 수 있는 방법을 찾았습니다. 이는 메트로폴리탄 오페라조차 할 수 없는 일이었습니다. 그녀는 INO의 팀원들이 경쟁력 있는 급여를 받을 수 있도록 노력하여 추가 채용과 지속 가능한 성장을 위한 강력한 인프라를 마련했습니다. 그녀는 오페라 그램 프로그램(야외에서 안전한 거리에 있는 개인에게 저렴한 비용으로 제공되는 일종의 개인 노래 전보)을 만들었습니다. 이를 통해 예술가들에게 추가 공연 기회를 제공할 뿐만 아니라 가장 어두운 시기에 지역 사회에 약간의 아름다움을 선사할 수 있었습니다. 그녀는 예술이 폐쇄된 가운데 오페라 그램이 계속될 수 있도록 Inslee 주지사에게 개인적으로 로비를 했으며, 이 프로그램은 2020년 여름 대부분 동안 주 전체에서 허용된 최초이자 유일한 라이브 공연이 되었습니다.

To bring even more art to the region at large, Dawn dreamt up a project called the Opera Truck: a fully refabricated 16-foot box truck that opens to unfold a stage. The Opera Truck was completed in August 2021, debuting at the Northwest Museum of Arts, bringing back a beloved tradition previously fulfilled by the now-defunct Spokane Opera. With the Opera Truck, INO has been able to travel throughout the Inland Northwest to present FREE community concerts as well as children’s opera to so many who would not have experienced this art form otherwise. Dawn’s vision and advocacy was honored with the 2021 Leadership Award from Spokane Arts.

Dawn has helped put Spokane on the map in the opera world, continuing to bring in incredible artists and hiring local artists to work alongside them. She has given her entire heart, soul, and voice to the region’s arts community and she will continue to advocate for the arts along the twisting road ahead. “Our job is just to keep putting one foot in front of the other. That applies to us as individuals, to us as a community. If you know what your core mission is, you can adjust. My mission is not just opera. We’re looking to bring people together. We’re looking to find ways to unify across different demographics, different age groups. If we can bring a little bit of joy, then I feel really grateful.” YWCA Spokane is honored to present Dawn Wolski with the 2022 Women of Achievement award for Arts and Culture.

비즈니스 및 산업 – 낸시 마호니

Nancy Mahoney is a long-time Spokane resident with deep roots in the business and philanthropic community, who has been committed to raising up women along the path of her career. Nancy’s impact for women in business began nearly 40 years ago when she started her career as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), a notoriously male-dominated industry at the time. She quickly established herself as a fast learner, hard worker and valued team player and opened the door for more women to join the profession. Women now comprise 40 percent of CPA positions because of trailblazers like Nancy, who showed hard work and tenacity in the industry to break through barriers.

낸시는 1980년 남편 게리와 함께 지역 스프링클러 및 조경 회사를 설립하고 38년 넘게 중소기업의 재무 및 행정 운영을 성공적으로 이끌었습니다. 그녀의 비즈니스 통찰력과 CPA 자격증은 Dew Drop Sprinklers & Landscaping을 성장시키고 관리하는 데 큰 도움이 되었습니다. 단순히 가족을 위해 생계를 유지하는 데 만족하지 않고 그녀는 소규모 사업을 통해 봉사, 청지기직, 관대함, 동정심이라는 가치를 실천할 기회를 얻었습니다. 그녀는 여성과 소수자를 고용하고 멘토링했으며 직원 혜택을 확대하여 직원이 일과 가정의 필요 사이의 균형을 유지할 수 있도록 돕고 직원 문제와 어려운 생활 환경을 친절하고 유연하게 처리했습니다. 회사는 중독 문제가 있는 직원들에게 자비로운 접근 방식을 보여주었고, 중독 치료 중 재정적 지원을 제공했으며, 가장 중요하게는 두 번째 기회를 제공했습니다.

Nancy has a long and impressive track record of giving back in the Spokane community. Her professional training as a CPA led to involvement in the financial aspects of nonprofits, serving both Women Helping Women Fund and Women & Children’s Free Restaurant as board treasurer. Nancy’s leadership abilities and altruistic spirit resulted in her also serving as board president of each of these organizations. Whether she is creating an annual report, balancing a budget or lending a listening ear to a struggling mother, Nancy works toward interdependence and creating shared vision.

Community involvement is a passion in Nancy’s life and her volunteer hours are endless. She led a capital campaign for Millwood Community Presbyterian Church which resulted in the Millwood Community Center that now hosts community events and meetings, including youth groups and various support groups. Nancy also served on the West Valley School District Curriculum Committee for over 16 years.

Hutton Settlement의 지지자로서 Nancy와 Gary는 우정 가족으로서 수년 동안 집을 열었습니다. ô 그들은 양부모였으며 아이들이 프로그램에서 나이가 든 후에도 집은 계속 열려 있었습니다. 놀랍게도 이 시기는 두 딸인 몰리(Molly)와 케이티(Katie)를 키우며 사업을 운영하던 시절이었습니다.

Social justice is woven into Nancy’s family legacy. Her grandmother rode her horse to cast her first vote in 1920. Her mother’s passion for human rights was ignited at a young age when she witnessed the inhumane living conditions at a Japanese internment camp in Idaho during World War II, and her family were some of the first in the area to rent land to Japanese families after being released. These events instilled a lifelong respect for other people and a commitment to human dignity in Nancy’s mother, Colleen Mahoney, and ultimately in Nancy. She has carried forward this family legacy of community activism.

Nancy는 Innovia Foundation에서 Dean and Colleen Mahoney 기금을 설립하는 데 중요한 역할을 했습니다. 이 기금은 루이스-클락 주립 대학(Lewis-Clark State College), 가정 폭력 생존자를 위한 YWCA 보호소 등의 지원 조직과 여성, 소수자 및 퇴역 군인에게 수여되는 대학 장학금을 통해 루이스턴-클락스턴 밸리(Lewiston-Clarkston Valley)의 발전을 위해 헌신하고 있습니다.

Nancy exemplifies leadership in her field of expertise, serves as a role model to other women and girls and gives back to the community. Her deep understanding that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, her moral courage, and her vision that today’s actions will influence the future are her unique gifts to the greater Spokane area. YWCA Spokane is honored to present Nancy Mahoney with the 2022 Women of Achievement award for Business and Industry.

Carl Maxey 인종 및 사회 정의 – 한셀 산체스

Hanncel Sanchez is the founder and executive director of Mujeres in Action (MiA), a community-connected nonprofit organization serving Latinx survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. The seeds of the organization grew from Hanncel’s experiences in her community and her examination of local resources for survivors from the Latinx community. The gap in access to culturally responsive crisis, advocacy and counseling services for survivors was apparent. As an immigrant herself, Hanncel knew the barriers for survivors’ help-seeking efforts including the lack of providers who speak Spanish and understand the culture, the mistreatment of immigrant women and the fear of the systems’ relationships with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Hanncel made Spokane her home in 2016 and has been contributing to the community in general and to the Latinx community specifically since she arrived. She pursued a major in women and gender studies with a double minor in Spanish and Religious Studies from Eastern Washington University (EWU) while she held a full-time job and volunteered for Lutheran Community Services. While volunteering and learning more about the inequity’s women experienced, she realized that her community was invisible and began to form the building blocks of what MiA would be come. She took the time to listen to the voices of survivors and their families, she made the effort to learn from local nonprofit organizations as to the unmet needs of the Latinx community and harnessed the volunteer efforts of other like-minded individuals and before she graduated in 2019, Hanncel established MiA.

Since then, she has worked tirelessly to transition the volunteer-led organization, conducting community education events in Spanish, to its current form as a 501(C)3 organization with a full board of directors and six staff members, offering advocacy and support services to the Latinx community in Spokane. MiA also sponsors a weekly KYRS Thin Air Community Radio show in Spanish (La voz de pueblo) on Ke Buena 95.7fm and will soon be launching a Spanish helpline. She was also the executive producer of the documentary “El poser de contarlo”. Hanncel has gathered a team of change agents to educate, serve and strategize to bring the realities of domestic and sexual violence to light in hopes of transforming lives and the community.

Hanncel은 Spokane Regional Domestic Violence Coalition(SRDVC)의 이사로 재직하면서 라틴계 커뮤니티가 직접 서비스, 지원 및 입법 이니셔티브에 대한 접근성을 향상하고 향상시킬 것을 옹호했습니다. SRDVC 외에도 Hanncel은 Latinos en Spokane, Hispanic Business and Professional Association, Spokane Alliance, Spokane Immigrant Rights Coalition 및 Raiz와 같은 지역 옹호 및 문화 단체와 가교를 구축하고 파트너십을 형성했습니다. 그녀는 전통적으로 눈에 띄지 않았고 인종 차별, 외국인 혐오, 계급 차별, 성차별 행위와 진술의 대상이 되는 사람들을 위해 상호 작용하는 각 커뮤니티 그룹의 테이블에서 눈에 띄는 목소리를 냈습니다.

Hanncel은 모든 리더가 갖춰야 할 모습의 전형입니다. 그녀는 전략적이고, 사려 깊고, 공감력이 있고, 신뢰하고 신뢰할 만한 가치가 있으며, 우리 각자가 자신의 진실을 가지고 있다고 믿습니다. 그녀는 다른 사람들이 최선을 다할 수 있는 공간을 만들고 제공합니다. Hanncel은 강력한 비판적 사고 능력과 가정 폭력 및 성폭력 종식에 대한 열정을 갖고 있으며 지역 사회에 기반을 두고 있습니다. 그녀는 해결책을 찾기 위해 다양한 견해를 가진 사람들과 함께 앉아 서비스와 접근성의 격차, 억압적인 관행, 체계적인 인종차별을 지적합니다. 그녀는 함께 일하는 사람들의 힘을 믿기 때문에 이렇게 합니다. 그녀의 중요한 일은 스포케인의 소외된 지역사회에 서비스를 제공하는 것입니다. YWCA Spokane은 Hanncel Sanchez에게 2022 Carl Maxey 인종 및 사회 정의 상을 수여하게 된 것을 영광으로 생각합니다.

커뮤니티 강화 – 폰 쇼트

Fawn Schott는 스포캔과 인근 지역사회의 거리에 거주하는 여성과 청소년에게 안전한 쉼터를 제공하는 데 중요한 역할을 해왔습니다. 노숙자 여성과 청소년 대부분은 트라우마와 학대를 경험했으며, 많은 사람들이 가정 폭력을 피해 탈출하고 있습니다. 워싱턴 동부와 아이다호 북부의 미국 자원봉사단(VOA)은 여성들에게 안전, 피난처, 건강 관리 및 자원의 형태로 희망을 제공하여 그들이 장기적으로 자립하고 웰빙할 수 있도록 지원합니다. Fawn은 자신이 봉사하는 커뮤니티에 열정을 갖고 있으며 VOA가 매일 돕는 모든 사람에게 관심을 갖고 있습니다. 그녀는 자금 확보, 기업 및 정부 파트너십 구축, 관계 강화 등 우리 지역사회에서 가장 취약한 사람들을 위해 끊임없이 노력하고 있습니다.

Through 2020 and 2021, Fawn was a voice and an advocate for people living with homelessness. As the pandemic shut down businesses and sent those of us fortunate enough to have a home inside, those who were outside became even more vulnerable. Fawn and her team worked alongside others who care about our community to find alternative solutions when shelters had to close or reconfigure because of COVID-19. She saw many homeless community members contract the virus, and never game up trying to find resources and safe, healthy shelter. In the midst of the pandemic, she led capital funding and construction of a 100-bed women’s shelter and 60 affordable apartments, Hope House 2, which opened in spring of 2021. At its opening, Hope House provided 100 beds so that more women living in our community would have to sleep on the streets. In addition, she is currently completing a capital fundraising effort to replace Crosswalk, which serves homeless youth in our community, many who represent marginalized groups and experience discrimination and racism.

Fawn은 배려심이 깊고 열정적이며 추진력이 있고 진실합니다. 그녀는 VOA의 사명을 믿으며 조직 리더십에 있어 비전을 갖고 있습니다. 그녀는 직원들이 우리 지역 사회 변화의 촉매제라는 것을 알고 있기 때문에 직원들을 돌봅니다.

Fawn exemplifies servant leadership, works tirelessly for those who are most vulnerable in our community and runs a nonprofit with a sharp business mind. One VOA board member notes, “I am inspired by her dedication and love for the people and the community she services, as well as her intelligence and ability to influence real change. She leads with her heart and makes change with her hands.”

Fawn은 최근 VOA National로부터 행정 리더십 상 수상자로 선정되었습니다. Fawn은 직원, 그녀가 봉사하는 사람들, 그리고 지역 사회의 많은 사람들로부터 높은 존경을 받고 있습니다. 그녀는 우리 주 전역의 노숙자 문제를 해결하기 위한 의견과 지침을 찾는 시, 카운티 및 주 정부 공무원의 관심을 받고 있습니다. 그녀의 강한 도덕성, 진실성, 공감은 그녀가 말하고 행동하는 모든 것에서 드러납니다. 그녀는 진정으로 모범을 보여줍니다. YWCA Spokane은 Fawn Schott에게 지역사회 발전을 위한 2022년 여성 공로상을 수여하게 된 것을 영광으로 생각합니다.

교육 - 리 윌리엄스

Lee Williams has had an outstanding career as a teacher, advocate and leader in the field of education and empowering people in the Spokane community. Her passion for early childhood education makes her one of the community’s most valuable voices in fostering improved quality and accessibility for early childhood education and high-quality child care. Her impact has been most keenly apparent during the pandemic as others have now awoken to the importance of child care and early childhood education is now at the forefront of community awareness due, in part, to her decades-long leadership.

그녀는 연방, 주 및 지방 차원의 입법 지도자들과 협의하여 보육이 모든 토론의 일부이고 가족과 지역 사회를 강화하도록 보장했으며 입법 파트너는 여성과 아동을 위한 연결자, 협력자 및 열렬한 옹호자로 묘사했습니다. . 그녀는 모든 어린이를 위한 양질의 서비스를 보장하기 위해 부족 서비스 및 소수 민족이 소유하거나 운영하는 조직과 협력해 왔습니다. 보육 및 조기 학습은 주로 여성이 소유하고 운영하는 산업입니다. Lee는 제공자 자격 개선, 교육 강화, 주 정부 환급률 인상, 공정한 임금 체계 도입 등을 통해 우수한 자격을 갖춘 제공자를 모집 및 유지하는 초기 옹호자 중 한 명이었습니다.

Lee began her career as an elementary teacher teaching a multi-level kindergarten through third grade class. This experience prompted her devotion towards child development. During this period, she earned her master’s degree in early childhood education. Lee moved on to work in the local Child Care Resource and Referral Agency, later becoming program director and joining the state-wide network. Lee distinguished herself as a knowledgeable and forward-looking leader in the state. She served as the president of Washington State Child Care Resource and Referral Network for three years. During her tenure, the network became a formal entity with a paid executive and staff. They now operate as Child Care Aware of Washington. Lee was recruited to the Washington Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), Division of Children and Family Services as a child care licenser. Lee attained a supervisory position, and then was promoted to regional director for licensing of DSHS Region 1. In 2004, Lee was hired as the founding director for St. Anne’s Children & Family Center. For 10 years, she directed and guided St. Anne’s as a model of quality care and early education in Spokane. In 2014, Lee was hired as the eastern Washington director of early achievers at Community-Minded Enterprises where she eventually became chief executive officer (CEO). Community-Minded Enterprises’ portfolio of programs under her steadfast leadership have resulted in individuals receiving education, child care, employment support on multiple levels and most importantly, a voice in their future.

Lee는 사려 깊고 선구적인 지도자로서 지역사회와 주 전역에서 널리 인정받고 있습니다. 그녀는 경험과 타고난 지혜가 결합된 높은 수준의 지식과 학문을 소유하는 데 중점을 두는 조용하지만 꾸준한 리더십 스타일을 사용합니다. 이씨는 문제의 모든 측면에 대한 정보를 흡수할 수 있는 적극적인 경청자로 알려져 있습니다. 그녀는 스포캔과 지역 전체에서 유아 교육과 인간 서비스 개선을 통해 어린이와 가족의 삶을 개선하겠다는 확고한 의지를 유지해 왔으며, 특히 역사적으로 소외되고 경제적으로 불리한 지역사회의 모든 어린이와 부모를 포함하는 것의 중요성을 이해하고 있습니다.

Lee is always seeking new methods and evidence-based innovations in her work. While at St. Anne’s, she embraced the newest teaching methods based on the latest research on infant brain development. Another example of her bold vision was to institute the 32-hour workweek as the CEO of Community-Minded Enterprises. This was groundbreaking in our community and serves as model for organizations to better meet the needs of employees while maintaining high standards in organizational output. In each of her endeavors throughout her career, Lee has developed programs and improved the quality of organizations, based on her talents as a leader.

Lee is a leader like no other. Beginning with her experiences as a parent and co-operative toddler and preschool class participant, she flourished into a passionate leader of early learning efforts. In the decades since, she has been an unwavering advocate for families with young children in our community. As the director of Saint Anne’s, a founding member of the Inland Northwest Early Learning Alliance and a program manager in the early learning division at Community-Minded Enterprises where she now serves as CEO, she never misses an opportunity to make a difference for others. Through conversations with lawmakers in Olympia, Lee is passionate, confident and articulate Ð always speaking up for those who have no voice.

항상 격려가 되는 멘토인 그녀는 다른 사람들의 최고를 장려하는 동시에 많은 사람들에게 도전하고 영감을 줍니다. 그녀는 사람들의 성장을 촉진하고 그들이 잠재력을 발휘하도록 돕습니다. 지역사회에 봉사하려는 그녀의 열망은 직업을 넘어서는 것입니다. 그녀는 유방암에 걸린 여성을 지원하는 Every Woman Can의 전 이사회 멤버를 포함하여 많은 비영리 단체의 여러 자선 활동과 자원 봉사자에게 아낌없이 기부하고 있습니다. 은퇴가 가까워지면서 Lee는 Early Learning Alliance와 협력하는 데 계속 전념하고 있습니다. YWCA Spokane에서는 Lee Williams와 그녀의 뛰어난 업적을 2022 Women of Achievement Education 상 수상자로 축하하게 된 것을 영광으로 생각합니다.

정부 및 공공 서비스 – 앨리슨 그레고이어

Alison Gregoire is the first woman to serve as criminal chief for the Eastern District of Washington United States Attorney’s Office. Alison was selected for this role because of her exemplary track record of serving at-risk populations, especially victims of crime in Indian Country. Alison has handled extremely difficult cases and worked closely with victims of crime Ð including Native American women and women from diverse backgrounds Ð to empower women to tell their stories and seek justice against the individuals who perpetrated violence against them.

Alison is also a Major in the United States Army Reserves, where she has served since leaving active duty in 2011. In her role as a leader in the U.S. Army, Alison has served as a senior defense counsel and supervised trial defense for soldiers pending separation from the armed forces. She has also served as a professor of criminal law where she has trained judge advocates in trial advocacy techniques. Alison’s superb trial skills and close connections with victims makes her an incredible advocate within the U.S. Army and within the U.S. Attorney’s Office where she works for justice and equal treatment of all individuals under the law.

Alison has served as the Indian Country coordinator and Project Safe Childhood coordinator for the Eastern District of Washington. In these roles, she has coordinated Indian Country cases and training for the district and prosecuted a wide variety of offenses focusing primarily on crimes against children and violent crimes. Due to her tireless efforts and skilled advocacy, she received the Department of Justice Director’s Award for Superior Performance in Indian Country in 2018. Alison has developed close relationships with tribal leadership and law enforcement in each of the four federally recognized tribes in eastern Washington, and especially on the large physical boundaries of the Yakima Nation and on the Colville Reservation, who trust her to take on the hard cases combatting violence that are exclusively within federal jurisdiction.

Within the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Alison is the first person attorneys seek out with questions and to receive her suggestions and advice. She has one of the largest case loads of any assistant United States attorney because of her deep commitment to protecting children who have been victims of crime and to deter those who would harm vulnerable youth. On a personal level, she has been a trailblazer by demonstrating that a woman and mother can successfully serve in a variety of leadership roles in the office while treating everyone with respect and care. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the staff under her leadership received regular check-in calls from her, inquiring not only about their work needs, but also about their personal well-being.

앨리슨은 믿을 수 없을 정도로 정직하고 명예로운 여성입니다. 그녀는 큰 겸손과 자부심을 가지고 국가에 봉사하며 그녀가 내리는 모든 선택은 사무실과 국가의 사명을 발전시키는 것입니다. Alison은 Gonzaga 대학교와 Notre Dame Law School을 졸업한 이후 지난 20년 동안 군에서 그리고 미국 검사로 조국을 위해 봉사했습니다. 그녀는 복잡한 역사를 지닌 피해자와 같이 다른 사람들이 기피할 수 있는 사건에 집중하고 상황이 어려워질 때에도 자신의 결정과 팀원을 지지합니다. 그녀는 항상 동료들의 지지를 받고 팀을 보호하는 리더의 최고의 특성을 가지고 있습니다. 그녀는 우수성에 대한 헌신과 자신이 훈련하고 발전시키는 변호사들에게 제공하는 성실한 투자를 통해 신뢰를 구축합니다.

Her enthusiasm for her work and strong commitment to ensure that justice is being served is inspiring. Alison possesses the rare combination of a skilled litigator who can strategically manage a complex trial with the compassion of a victim’s advocate who inspires trust and can bring her legal abilities to truly empower victims of crimes to seek justice within a system that often feels unfamiliar or uncomfortable. Alison is a true servant leader who has greatly enhanced the eastern Washington community through her leadership and advocacy. At YWCA Spokane, we are truly honored to celebrate the work and accomplishments of Alison Gregoire, 2022 Women of Achievement award honoree for Government and Public Service.
