The Realize Redmond board of directors has appointed board chair Dan Angellar, general manager of the Redmond Town Center Marriott, vice chair Linda Benson, vice president of community initiatives for Hopelink and former Redmond City Council member Nancy McCormick to represent Realize Redmond on the One Redmond transition work group.

The Realize Redmond board voted in September to officially join One Redmond and is excited to participate with the Greater Redmond Chamber of Commerce, Redmond Economic Development Alliance and the City of Redmond.

Realize Redmond is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building a healthy, vibrant and engaged community in the city of Redmond. Founded in honor of Redmond’s upcoming centennial in 2012, the group partners with residents, city government and businesses to develop a shared vision for the future that will become Redmond’s legacy for the next century.

In service of this vision, Realize Redmond raises money to support projects, programs and events that improve quality of life, encourage civic engagement and support environmentally sustainable practices.
