Alumni in the Workplace: City of Seattle
The City of Seattle is the single largest employer of Evans School alumni. Even in this time of budget cuts and increased work flow, five alumni took time from their busy schedules to respond to questions about their work and reflect on their time at the Evans School. We heard from Michelle Chen (MPA/JD ‘99), senior policy analyst in the Mayor’s Office; Judith Noble (MPA ’92), strategic advisor at Seattle Public Utilities; Jill Simmons (MPA ’04) acting director of the City’s Office of Sustainability and Environment, Mary Wideman-Williams (MPA ’05) chief operating officer for Seattle Center, and Bill Schrier (MPA ’01) chief technology officer for the City of Seattle.
