Since 1972, NW folk life has been creating opportunities for all to celebrate, share, and participate in the evolving cultural traditions of the Pacific Northwest. As an organization dedicated to the dynamic, evolving practice of folk art, and cultural traditions, we are extremely committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion. Therefore, we see candidates who offer relevant skills and knowledge with diverse, cultural, perspectives, grounded in the desire to work collaboratively with community.As the Vendor and Sponsorship Sr. Lead, I conduct the day-to-day functions to develop a robust Vendor program for the annual NW folk life Festival and other events, as well as a diverse array of sponsors for the NW Folklife year round events. I create and promote pathways for participation for both returning and new participants. I have experience with creating sustainable, mutually beneficial, relationships, and establishing connections with different communities.
