Alison Alfonzo Pence named as Northwest Neighbors Networks first Executive Director

Northwest Neighbors Network has appointed Alison Alfonzo Pence as its inaugural Executive Director, aiming to bolster support for seniors in North King County and South Snohomish County. Board President Mahyar Rahbarrad praised her extensive experience in nonprofit leadership and community engagement. Pence has a notable history, having led MS Helping Hands and worked in the Washington State House of Representatives. The organization, established six years ago, primarily serves low to medium income seniors, promoting independence through a network of community support. Pence's commitment to senior services is backed by her previous work with underserved populations and expertise in fundraising.

She plans to continue her volunteer efforts with the Asian Service Center and Rotary Club while focusing on her new role.
