Congratulations to two of our own from Kirkland’s Planning and Building Department - Prins Cowin, Administrative Supervisor, and Xiaoning Jiang, Resilience and Technology Officer! They were among 36 graduates of the Northwest Women’s Leadership Academy (NWWLA) this year, chosen for the program for their incredible accomplishments and commitment to public service.

The NWWLA program has made it their mission to prepare and promote women into leadership roles in local government, as women are still dramatically underrepresented in city leadership positions across our state.

The NWWLA is open to women and non-binary applicants who work in municipal governments including cities, counties, other local public sector organizations, and tribal governments across the state. The program is designed to build confidence, create long-lasting support networks, and connect each person with resources to help them grow in their career.
