Central to transforming the LWVWA into a “infrastructure builder,” as the state board of directors voted to do in April, is the creation of a new leadership structure featuring an executive director.  Amy Peloff, state League administrative director, was unanimously approved for the post earlier this month.

Peloff holds a Ph.D. from the University of Washington in Women’s Studies and a master of public administration from Virginia Commonwealth University and is a familiar face — or at least a familiar voice — to many.

For eight years she has overseen daily operations, implemented technology solutions, improved efficiency, streamlined communications and solved seemingly hundreds of last-minute crises, with good humor and great aplomb.

Peloff starts in her new role Aug. 1.  Above, she enjoys a bouquet given to her by the state board at its July 11 retreat in Snohomish.
