What an incredible and inspiring way to spend an evening! ❤️

In the early 1970s, we helped start the Children's

In the early 1970s, we helped start the Children's Gallery at the Tacoma Art Museum by donating $18,000 for a two-year period and providing volunteers and board representatives.

In the fall of 1970, an in-depth education program

In the fall of 1970, an in-depth education program for League members was launched called SEARCH. The University of Puget Sound, Tacoma Community College and Pacific Lutheran University were involved from the onset with SEARCH classes that opened to the community in 1971.

Cynthia Stewart: President of the League of Women

Cynthia Stewart: President of the League of Women Voters of Tacoma-Pierce County
Cynthia Stewart is President of the League of Women Voters of Tacoma-Pierce County, has recently joined the Board of MDC, and is President of Thurston Community Media. She is also an active volunteer for the Hearing Loss Association of Washington, because of her lifelong severe hearing loss. She was awarded Citizen of the Year by South Sound Magazine in 2019.

Cynthia’s background is multi-faceted. She has worked in both private and public sector management and also has done extensive work as a facilitator/consultant in conflict resolution and organizational development. Her career path has had many unanticipated twists and turns, going from community activist to Manager of Boeing Field Airport (at the time the 28th largest in the country) with many steps along the way.

Cynthia has had a lifelong commitment to public engagement in decisions that affect them, which has been reflected in every career and volunteer choice. With the League of Women Voters, she works actively to fulfill the League’s mission of encouraging informed and active participation in government.

Cynthia’s interest in better addressing conflicts in a variety of settings led her to become trained as a mediator and she served as a labor-management consultant for a number of years in both the health care and public works fields. She has a BA degree in Sociology from the University of Guam, a MA degree in Public Administration from Seattle University and Mediation certification from the Snohomish Dispute Resolution Center.
