August 4, 2008 · Updated 10:07 PM
The Northshore Public Education Foundation (NPEF) recently hired Ed Todd as executive director of the nonprofit organization.
Todd, a Woodinville resident, spent most of his career with Safeco Insurance where he served as a diversity marketing specialist in the nine-states Northwest Region. In addition, he oversaw community relations for Safeco while living in Oregon and linked Safeco’s regional initiatives with many nonprofit community groups and organizations.
“I am excited and enthusiastic about working for such a fine organization,” Todd stated, “and look forward to sharing the foundation’s story, its goals, and its mission with the communities throughout the district.”
Todd has promoted excellence in education, growing up in a family of educators. While living in Oregon (Lake Oswego), he served as board member and president of the Lake Oswego School District Foundation (LOSDF). Under his leadership, the LOSDF began work on an endowment and realized increased visibility throughout the district.
Todd is following Jean Fowler, who served as foundation director for six years after her 12-year tenure on the Northshore School Board. Fowler will continue her involvement in educational activities, as well as spend more time with her family.
