Steve Burdick, Vancouver's economic
development director, leaving in April

After ten years as the City of Vancouver's director of Economic Development Services, Steve Burdick is leaving the city for other adventures at the end of April.

"This has been a wonderful adventure, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work on so many challenging and cutting-edge projects," says Burdick. "At this stage of my life, I am looking for different experiences and another exciting career."

Burdick first worked for the city from 1984 to 1990 as project manager for Officers Row and represented the city in public-private partnership agreements for Riverview Tower and the Evergreen Retirement Inn. Burdick left the city, but after serving seven years as vice president of operations for Key Property Services, Burdick returned to the city in 1997.

During his second stint with the city, Burdick managed the Vancouver Convention Center and Hilton Hotel project and, through 2005, the rehabilitation of the West Barracks. Burdick also represented the city in public-private partnership agreements for Heritage Place, Vancouvercenter, West Coast Bank Building, Kirkland Union Manor, Lewis and Clark Plaza and Esther Short Commons. He was also instrumental in securing a permanent home for the Vancouver Farmers Market adjacent to Esther Short Park.

"Steve has left a legacy of accomplishments for our community,” said city manager Pat McDonnell. “I will miss the passion and dedication he brought to every aspect of the job. He is someone with a strong, clear vision who is not afraid to think big and dream big. I will miss him very much.”

McDonnell said he will begin recruiting for Burdick's replacement immediately.

Medical center kicking off breast care
center capital campaign with shindig

Pink Power Gone Wild is the slogan selected for a major capital campaign to finance a new Breast Care Center for the Southwest Washington Medical Center’s main campus on Mill Plain Boulevard.

A project of the medical center’s Southwest Foundation, the Pink Power Gone Wild campaign will be kicked off with a swank soiree in the Hilton Vancouver Washington Thursday, May 3.

“Expect an event to remember,” one of the co-chairwomen, Becky Weis, member of the Southwest Foundation Capital Campaign Cabinet, says. “Expect lots of food, wine, fashion, music and dancing at the party which will showcase high-end shopping with local products, designers and boutiques,” she adds.

The exact location and cost of the new cancer center is yet to be determined, and design is still in an early stage, according to Weis. The new center will add specialized services such as massage therapy and yoga, she says. The medical center Cancer Center is in the Physician’s Pavilion on the Mill Plain campus.

Other co-chairwomen are Rhona Senn Hoss, community partnerships manager for the Columbian, and Southwest Foundation board members Jody Campbell and Kaycee Wiita. For further information on the $125-per-person gala, call 514-3106, or go to www.pinkpowersw.org.
