Congratulations to Madison Tuttle for being honored in this year's Leadership Kitsap 20 under 40! Madison's compassion and commitment to offering hope and opportunity throughout the community shine bright. We are proud to have her on our team.

🏆 Meet the Honorees!

Madison Tuttle works for Kitsap Mental Health Services.

“Community leaders focus on the greater good of the community as well as the needs and challenges of individuals often powerless to advocate for themselves. Good leaders make decisions with input from their stake holders, keeping in mind that individuals will not save the world alone, but rather solving issues and driving change is most effectively achieved by a flow of caring and dedicated individuals coming together.” – Madison Tuttle

We can't wait to support our rising stars THIS THURSDAY at the annual 20 Under 40 Awards!
