Did you catch us in the most recent edition of Kitsap Business Magazine? 💚

We’re honored to see Leadership Kitsap featured in the article, “Rooted in Purpose, Rising in Service,” with a deeper look at who we are, why this work matters, and how more than 30 years of leadership development has helped strengthen connections throughout Kitsap County.

From our Signature Program and Community Impact Projects to the growing opportunities we’re creating for leaders at every stage, the article captures a belief at the heart of everything we do.

“We need leadership at every level that exists. It’s a mindset, a mentality, and it’s action.”

A huge thank you to Kitsap Business Magazine and writer Quinn Propst for taking the time to tell our story, and to Leah Thompson of Scandia Studio for capturing our team and our work.

This weekend, our team had the opportunity to attend Media Day at the Bremerton Air Show and connect with some of the people behind this longstanding community tradition.

From pilots and volunteers to longtime supporters of the Bremerton Pilots Association, every conversation was a reminder that leadership takes many forms. We loved hearing the stories, passion, and dedication behind the event, and getting to know some of the people who give their time and talents to make it happen.

A huge thank you to everyone who welcomed us, shared their experiences, and gave us a behind-the-scenes look at the air show. We're grateful to be part of a community filled with people who care so deeply about Kitsap.

And this is just the beginning! Stay tuned as we share more of these conversations in the weeks ahead through a new series highlighting local leaders and the impact they're making across our community. 💚
