SUBJECT: Benson Hill Community Plan Advisory Board
Ms. Kirsten Garcia recently applied to serve on the Benson Hill Community Plan Advisory Board.
Kirsten has lived in the Benson Hill area since 2003 and has a strong focus on community. She
volunteers to help youth programing at the Filipino Community of Seattle and mentors students
through the University of Washington's Making Connections program to engage low-income
students of color in science,technology, engineering, and math related fields in advance of
college courses. Kirsten is also a Project Manager for Eight Rays NW, a Filipinx Community
Building Project.
Staff believe that Kirsten will add much value to the Board based on her community focus and
volunteerism, and will lend a different perspective due to her youth and geographic location
within the Benson Hill (close to the Benson Shopping Center). Staff recommends Kirsten for a
three-year term on the Benson Hill Community Plan Advisory Board.
