On February 16, the League of Women Voters of Snohomish County will present its 2019 Democracy in Action Award to Kristin Kelly. 

Kristin Kelly is the former executive director of the Pilchuck Audubon Society and its Smart Growth Program. She has worked for sixteen years with Snohomish County local governments to help balance growth with livability.

Through education, outreach, activism, coalition building and advocacy she has contributed to comprehensive land use planning and development regulations to achieve more sustainable urban communities. She has been a champion for protecting our county’s natural resource and rural lands, our air and water quality, and wildlife and fish habitat from irresponsible development.

The presentation will be at the annual League of Women Voters Birthday Luncheon, 11 am-1:30 pm on February 16, at Legion Memorial Golf Club, Greenside Grill Room. Cost is $25 per person.

The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan political organization that encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and after member study and agreement, works to influence public policy through education and advocacy.
