Board of Directors
Every live event and research project aims to move us toward a cleaner, greener, healthier Puget Sound. We are committed to doing the following:
Put the underwater environment first:
A healthy thriving underwater world is a necessity for a better lifestyle. Through our research and public education, we’re shifting more hearts and minds into action toward this point of view.
Take a strategic approach:
We think big and do not accept that change cannot happen. We're continually protecting our treasured ecosystems and the wildlife they support. This is making a positive difference in the lives of people here in the Northwest and may help shift public policy.
Work together:
We connect people from all around our region who want to share and find alternatives to the growing issues facing us today. Eliminating single-use plastics and Styrofoam. Reduce toxins and pollutants being dumped into our precious streams, rivers, lakes, and the Sound. Limit over-fishing and habitat loss. With your help, we can achieve our goals.

Sarah Cecil
Chair As a professional financial advisor with years of experience, I have achieved my CFP® designation and I bring an advanced level of knowledge and skills to Workplace Retirement Plans. I am a Chartered Retirement Plans Specialist (CRPS®) and leveraging employer benefit packages for you is my specialty. Why does this matter? Equity Compensation affects the entirety of your financial life and it is confusing and complex. Partnering with an experienced advisor can help you maximize your return on these complicated benefits. Working with Made In Puget Sound is very important to the Pacific Northwest, and where my family makes our home. |
