Event Recap | Evans In Government Network Launch Event

A colorful word cloud with different shades of purple and gold with over 60 issues and topics ranging in size

The Evans in Government Network, co-chaired by Vanessa Kritzer, President of the Redmond City Council, and Janice Zahn, Bellevue City Councilmember, recently launched at Parrington Hall on March 27.

This initiative aims to create a community among Evans School alumni who work in government, including government staff and elected officials. The primary goals are to strengthen professional ties, offer support in addressing contemporary challenges, and foster pathways to public service by engaging with emerging leaders. The launch event gathered a core group of engaged network members to collaboratively design future focus and engagement efforts. Using the World Café method, participants convened to network, build social ties, and discuss pressing topics to harness collective wisdom. Through these efforts, the network seeks to facilitate meaningful connections and contribute to the advancement of public service endeavors.
