Greg Wilson, a Program Manager within Public Health’s Environmental Health Services Division, won the inaugural Outstanding Leadership Award from the Washington Alliance for Better Schools (WABS).

WABS is a collaborative of school districts and industry leaders working to support students. They give this award in recognition of a person or team who has demonstrated outstanding engagement with WABS over time.

Greg was selected due to his collaboration with WABS for over a decade, providing instructor support and coordinating teacher externships, and for his consistent advocacy for partnerships between WABS and Public Health. Greg, who started Public Health’s Education Engagement Strategy Program, works with Environmental Health Services colleagues as well as partners across the county to advocate for engaging students and connecting them with educational and career STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) opportunities.

These collaborative efforts have a critical impact and are crucial to the development of the future Public Health workforce. Congratulations Greg!
