Dear DEOC--

I'd like you to meet our incoming Director of Tribal Government Affairs, Glenda Breiler (see the email from Paul below). I was fortunate to have led the search for our next director and am so excited to welcome Glenda to SBCTC and to be co-creators with you all.

Glenda is a product of our community college system as both a student and staff. She joins us on September 27.

peace,
Sophia

Subject: Welcome Glenda Breiler!


Good morning colleagues –



Please join me in welcoming Glenda Breiler to the SBCTC as our new Director of Tribal Government Affairs!



Glenda possesses extensive experience across higher education and state and tribal governments. She currently serves as Tribal Relations Manager at Puget Sound Energy, where she manages a wide range of complex public policy issues related to energy and land use. Prior to that she worked as Director of Tribal Relations at the Washington State Department of Natural Resources, where she worked with tribal leaders in areas such as recreation, preserving access to cultural resources, climate resilience, and environmental justice.



Glenda’s higher education experience includes serving as Director of the Longhouse at The Evergreen State College, as a MESA Program Director at Edmonds College, and as a Program Manager at the University of Washington’s Indigenous Wellness Research Institute. A member of the Colville Tribe, she possesses a bachelor's degree from Western Washington University, an MSW from the University of Washington, and has extensive professional service, leadership, and teaching experience across our state.



We are truly honored to have Glenda at the SBCTC to continue the incredible efforts begun by founding Director of Tribal Government Affairs Lynn Palmanteer-Holder to create inclusive environments for native students, faculty, and staff across our college system, in partnership with college and tribal leaders. This work is in alignment with our system’s vision statement and updated 2020-30 Strategic Action Plan<https://www.sbctc.edu/about/agency/initiatives-projects/strategic-plan/> that lists strategies related to our tribal government affairs work, including Strategy 1.3.4: Engage college system leaders in government-to-government relationships with Washington’s 29 federally recognized Tribes to provide professional training, curriculum development, faculty learning communities, and resources in support of students.



Glenda will join our team on September 27 and will report directly to me. Welcome again, Glenda!



Paul
