New Board Members and SOAK*2020 Producers Announcement
The SOAK*2020 leadership team is growing! It will now include three new Producers, rounding out a team of five total Producers for this years event. We are pleased to welcome them along with four new members of Precipitation Northwest's Board of Directors. We are excited to have such qualified and enthusiastic individuals joining the SOAK and Precipitation NW teams!
Your returning SOAK*2020 executive producers are HugBoss (Tacy Brotherton) and Pablovex (Paul Lewis). New to the SOAK production team is associate producer Koala (Jenny Rodriguez), plus assistant producers Golddust (Revé Oviedo) and One Eye (Jeannie Rodriguez).
Returning to the Precipitation Northwest board of directors are Harry Nedley, Ryan Krellwitz, Ariel Rigney, Danielle Parks, and Dale Lucht. New to the board this year are Molly Harpel, Alexander LaVake, Kristin Stankiewicz, and Preet Gujral. For a list of bios and photos of all our board members, please visit our Board of Directors page.
In the fall of 2019, the Precipitation NW board began soliciting and interviewing for new board member positions, and with the help of returning SOAK producers we also began interviewing for SOAK Producer positions. With the leadership team established we are now ready to kick off the 2020 event; the first big step is the Leads Retreat with the 2020 Leads Team.
Interested in volunteering for SOAK*2020? There is still time to get involved! Be sure to keep a lookout for SOAK volunteer signups in the coming months. There will also be an opportunity to meet the entire leadership team at the annual Town Hall meeting on March 1, and the entire Board of Directors later in the year at the Annual General Assembly.
We would like to thank Adrian Thomas-Eikmann (aka Cucumber) and Sarah Honeycutt for their service to the community as Board Members, both of whom retired from the Precipitation Northwest board of directors as of December 31, 2019. As a founding board member Cucumber has been instrumental in getting Precipitation Northwest where we are today, helping launch Safety Northwest and implementing the Conduct Review Panel, among numerous other behind the scenes contributions that will continue to benefit the community. We look forward to working with him as he steps down from the board and continues to service the community in other critical ways, and wish him the best!
A big thanks is also in order to Honeybee who stepped down as Producer after many years of SOAK production, volunteerism, leadership, passion and enthusiasm. She has played a critical role in helping to grow the SOAK event year over year, and help the event improve in professionalism and sustainability. We’re grateful to her for her hard work, and look forward to continuing to work with her on future projects.
