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 Monthly’s annual best-of lists also name UW Tacoma the top institution in Washington among master’s universities and among “bang for the buck colleges” in the West.
