Chancellor Sheila Edwards Lange was chosen from a pool of over 200 nominees. The Power 100 is considered a “shortlist” for the publication’s Executive of the Year award.
The publication notes her work with the local community “to find better ways to serve [UW Tacoma’s] students” and her efforts to help support the community’s continued growth.
UW President Ana Mari Cauce is also included in the list. Other South Sound business leaders in the Power 100 are Bill Sterud of the Puyallup Tribe, Ketul Patel of Virginia Mason Franciscan, Bill Robertson at MultiCare Health Systems and Clint Stein at Columbia Bank. Puget Sound Business Journal has published the Power 100 annually since 2019.
The project is part of UW Tacoma’s vision to revitalize its campus core, one of the strategic areas of focus outlined in its recently completed campus master plan.
