Pat Pavey has been with the board since 1986, serving as president from 2004 through 2008. His long service on the board has given SWYFS invaluable institutional memory and historical perspective. His work with the Fire Department Training Division prior to retirement was helpful in creating current strategic plans, and in the agency’s work toward becoming a more culturally competent organization. Pat retired from the Seattle Fire Department in 2007 and has gone on to provide consulting services to the Fire Service in Washington.
