In 2010, Ann Swanson knew she was in line to become president of the Washington State Women's Golf Association (WSWGA) in 2012. So in preparation, she went all-in by writing and publishing a book about the 90-year history of the WSWGA. Founded in 1922, the WSWGA is celebrating its centennial in 2022, along with WA Golf's centennial in 2022.Ann twice won the Washington Senior Women's Amateur (2000-2001), won the WSWGA Championship nine times (and was runner-up nine times), and won the Seattle Women's Golf Association (SWGA) title seven times. Ann also wrote and published a history book about the SWGA. She has several other titles to her credit, all of which led to her being inducted into the Pacific Northwest Golf Hall of Fame in 2007. In this podcast, Ann talks about the beginnings of golf in the state, which led to the founding of the WSWGA (and WSGA, now WA Golf).

This Talk takes place as we will have just entered the 30th Week in Ordinary Time. Another way of perceiving what these “time” markers are is to recognize what the Catholic Liturgical Calendar describes a “journey” that we all take each year, along which journey we meet holy people (on the feast days of Saints), we meet Jesus, and those around Him in His public life, in the midst of the most profound moments that are the divine and human foundation of our beautiful Faith. Yet, the Liturgical Year is not really for travelers on a “journey” as it is for pilgrims who set out in faith towards a holy destination, not really knowing what will become of them each year when meeting again the Saints and our Lord Jesus in the midst of His own pilgrimage, which we call His public life. Just as the thousands of years-old pilgrimage routes in Europe always pass through the same landscape and towns (the unchanging route is an essential point), so the Liturgical Year always follows the same “route.” What is not the same each year is us! Because last year changed us, and some of us profoundly (some of us entering into eternal life!), so we should experience this year's pilgrimage differently, with deeper insight.

Rokea is a staunch advocate for reproductive justice and birth equity since 2006. Rokea started in the birth work field as a volunteer doula, it didn't take long for her to see the gaps in care for families of color in comparison to other birthing families, her experiences have influenced her today. She strives to create more access to labor and parenting support for African- American families because she understands the unique barriers and cultural needs.  As a commissioner for the Seattle Women's commission, Rokea uses that platform to continue to advocate for policies that support the wellbeing of all mothers and their families. Rokea believes strongly that when you take care of a mother, you take care of the whole community.

While some industries have made headwind in attracting women to the workforce, the technology industry continues to fall behind. According to a 2016 Women in the Workplace Study by McKinsey & Co and Leanin.org, the gender gap between women and corporate America is still prevalent in the tech industry. The research states that there are only 36% women workers in entry level positions, 25% in VP roles, and only 17% in C-suite executive roles. In 1987, Mukilteo, WA resident and computer scientist Dr. Anita Borg set out to make an impact on this gender gap by starting a digital community for women in computing called Systers. Since then, this community has grown into a leading organization for women in technology. Today, AnitaB.org works with women technologists and in more than 50 countries and partners with leading academic institutions and fortune 500 companies. On today’s episode, Tyler sits down with Anita Borg Institute Community Leaders, Professor Sheila Oh, who serves as the Senior Instructor and Director of the Computer Science Fundamentals Certificate Program at Seattle University and Ross Smith, Director of Skype for Good at Microsoft. They discuss the gender gap in technology and how we as a society can change it together. They also discuss how you can make an impact on the gender gap in technology by attending the upcoming Hopper X 1 Seattle Women in Tech Conference taking place March 22nd - 23rd. Tickets are available February 13th here. Don’t wait too long to register as tickets sold out within 36 hours last year!

Dennis Coleman is the Director Emeritus of the Seattle Men’s Chorus and Seattle Women’s Chorus where he served as conductor and artistic director for 35 years. He has also served that long with Bellevue First Congregation Church and continues to work with the choir there to this day.   Dennis’s love for choral singing began in the church and with hymn singing. He said he got good training as an accompanist and improvisation growing up in the church and in his high school. His father’s recordings of Sir Thomas Beecham’s Messiah was an early inspiration along with Robert Shaw’s Chorale. He developed an ear for choral music listening to these during his junior high years. He latter got to study in Robert Shaw’s summer program for choral conductors. His belief system meant that at the church level music was a means of reaching out and affecting people for evangelism and to move people. Dennis is confident that he has been led to be exactly where he needed to be.   Seattle Men’s and Women’s Choruses http://www.seattlechoruses.org First Congregational Church Bellevue http://www.fccbellevue.org   Every Sing Podcast Page: nancybos.net/podcast/ Every Sing Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/1711090705861666/
