(Please limit your response to 500 words or less.) Greetings! I'm Pat Bako and I moved to the Allentown neighborhood of Tukwila a year ago, after purchasing a home here. I really enjoy living in Tukwila and I am looking for a way to give back to my new community through service on the Arts Commission. My qualifications for serving on the Arts Commission include a passion for and deep knowledge of the local arts community. I have extensive experience working with and on committees, planning initiatives and events, and organizing groups. I'm experienced guiding decision -makers and creating and managing budgets. I understand and regularly use Robert's Rules of Order. I have a creative spirit and easy-going nature, as well as first-hand knowledge of art -making, presenting and marketing art, curating exhibitions, and creating artistic RFP's. My history with the arts: After completing a degree in Fine Arts with a focus on glass sculpture, I moved to Seattle and became deeply involved with the local art community as an artist, and teacher, while running the glass department at Pratt Fine Arts Center. Eventually I transitioned my career to arts administration and leadership. I have served the arts community through my work at Pilchuck Glass School, Artist Trust, Bellevue Arts Museum, and Cornish College of the Arts. This past November 2021, I accepted a position as the Executive Director of Pacific Bonsai Museum where I am honored to lead one of only two bonsai museums in the country. I hope to give back to my new community through volunteering with the Tukwila Arts Commission. Please note that upon submission, all information on this document becomes public record.

(Please limit your response to 500 words or less.) I recently moved to Tukwila in Fall 2021. My husband and I hope to live here long-term. After some frustrating experiences with the city regarding construction on our property, we are inspired to become more involved with the city so we can contribute to the growth of Tukwila into a community that benefits everyone. I would like to start my involvement with the city by serving on the Library board because it's my wheelhouse - I worked at major book publishing companies in New York City for 6 years and I know the business side of books and libraries well. I currently work as a project manager and have years of experience negotiating with vendors, so I also bring concrete project management and business skills to the table. I am happy to provide a resume upon request. Please note that upon submission, all information on this document becomes public record.
