  • Margaret Filkins

    Director, Wellness House; Social Services Entrepreneur

    Wellness House has made a conscious policy to not accept state or federal funding to support their diverse social services support programs; this allows timely response to community needs that spring up. Initially begun as a safe place for cancer victims to gain help, the organization responds to a wide variety of demands. Peer-based support is the primary means of financial contributions, as well as for determining the services that are most meaningful.

  • Urban Eberhart

    Director, Kittitas Valley Reclamation District; Water Resources Scientist and Policy Maker

    As one of the collaborative partners of the group of conservationists, irrigators, tribes, state and local stakeholders, fish passage experts and federal agencies, Mr. Eberhart's role was instrumental in development of the multi-billion dollar Yakima River Basin Integrated Water Resource Management Plan. It is unique within the United States. He now travels extensively to lecture on the unique cooperation and commitment that all these agencies exhibited that lead to bipartisan support of critical legislation.
