Who Is Most Affected
Students benefit from stable governance that supports consistent academic programming, tuition stability, and campus infrastructure planning. Faculty and staff benefit from predictable administrative leadership and support for working conditions and academic freedom.
As a trustee, Mr. Qadri will help shape college policies on budgets, tuition, and academic priorities—areas that directly affect local taxpayers and ratepayers who fund the college through state and local support.
Local governments in the college district (e.g., Bothell, Snohomish County) rely on the college for workforce development and economic development partnerships; stable board leadership supports those collaborations.
Businesses in the region—especially those in tech, healthcare, and skilled trades—depend on Cascadia College for workforce training; consistent board leadership helps align curricula with regional labor market needs.
The appointment itself does not create new obligations or costs for state agencies, but stable college governance supports broader state goals around higher education access and workforce readiness.
