The luncheon will welcome 500 guests to celebrate the collaboration between our community and our schools, helping to ensure all Northshore students graduate career and college ready and able to fill the jobs of our future.  The goal of the luncheon is to raise more than $132,000 to support the Foundation's continued funding initiatives, which include Teacher Excellence; STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Education; Support for Advanced and Disadvantaged Learners; Health & Enhancement and; Literacy & Arts Support in all 31 Northshore schools.   

Since June 2012, Michael Kutz has served as the President of the Associated Students of the University of Washington.  The Associated Students of the University of Washington is the democratic voice of students that engages the campus community through programming, services and advocacy.   

 

Kutz strives to enrich student life and develop future leaders through advocating for higher education state-wide.  In his role as Chair of Provost's Advisory Committee for Students, Kutz has been a key player in the establishment of Annual budgets, tuition levels and admissions for the University of Washington. 

 

A 2010 International Baccalaureate graduate from Inglemoor, Kutz was active in the nationally renowned DECA program with an intention to study business.  Upon arriving at the University of Washington, Kutz changed his major to Computer Science and began being active in student leadership.  "It became obvious once I started classes, that the jobs of the future were more easily found in the field of computer science," Kutz said.   Kutz has become increasingly involved in socially minded tech organizations and is looking forward to a career that allows him to use his computer science degree and his leadership to make a difference in the world

 This year Paulette Bauman will be our 2014 chairperson for the Luncheon. 

 

Paulette Bauman makes community connections a priority in everything she does. While serving as a City of Woodinville Council member for the past 4 years she acted as liaison to the Northshore School District, the State Legislation Council and the Woodinville Chamber of Commerce. Bauman also served on the Fire District Joint Policy Board, Economic Development Committee, and Tourism Task Force.

Bauman is a longtime supporter of the Northshore Schoosl Foundation and serves as an ambassador to Woodinville High School, where her child attends.

 

Professionally, Bauman works as a sales associate for Click Wholesale Distributing, Fine Wine and Beer, where she serves the Woodinville Wine Community.
