Introducing
our new Development &
Communications Associate:
Sydney Evans
My name is Sydney, and I am thrilled to be joining the efforts of the Skagit Community Foundation! I was born and raised in Rochester, New Hampshire but have recently established my home in Mount Vernon following my graduation from Western Washington University. During my time at WWU I was the goalie for the women's lacrosse team, an intern for the athletic department, and I graduated with a communications and marketing degree.
I have previously worked for organizations like the Bellingham Bells, Boys & Girls Clubs of Whatcom County, and your local Nike store in Burlington, Washington. I'm now looking forward to contributing my skillset to the Skagit Community Foundation. I am passionate about working with people and working within nonprofit organizations that have a direct impact on our community. I've seen first-hand the value that nonprofit work has on our community members and think it is a necessity. Outside of my job I enjoy working on art-related projects (lately it's been a lot of embroidery), facetiming my family on the East Coast, reading books, and playing basketball with friends at the YMCA!
I am very excited to start my work with the foundation and look forward to meeting some of you along the way!
Message from Maddy, Executive Director:
We had a high number of strong candidates for the Development & Communications Associate position, and the selection process was challenging. Sydney stood out to us for her work ethic, marketing and communications background, experience in nonprofits, on top of a compassionate heart and eagerness to serve the community.
Her positivity is radiant, and I'm looking forward to the opportunities we will be creating together!
