We had a terrific turnout for Spotlight, our annual donor appreciation event. Altogether, there were 117 people in attendance! Northwest African American Museum (NAAM) offered not only a beautiful space for our event but also a rich cultural experience for our guests, including a docent tour of the exhibits.
Thanks to all who showed up, including our speakers LaNesha DeBardelaben, President & CEO of NAAM (pictured above); Pinky Herrera, Companis Board Member, Providence Swedish Community Health Investment & Partnerships; and Nekya Johnson, Dir. of Community Impact & Grantmaking, Community Foundation of Snohomish County.
Here are some photos from this special day. And many thanks to Yoon-ha Noh, the man behind the camera!
