So who are these women behind the store counters and service desks and what do they do? Take a look inside our special section on Women in Business to meet some of the women who are the heart, soul and backbone of our local communities.

Sister city superstar

Tina McCollum brings the world to Snoqualmie

Tina McCollum is one of many women in the Snoqualmie Valley who is actively supporting the health of the community, both here and abroad. She is president of the Snoqualmie Sister Cities Association (SSCA) and a founding board member, cultivating sister city relationships with Gangjin, Korea and Chaclacayo, Peru.

She was recently awarded a Rise and Shine Award from the Snoqualmie Valley Community Network for the posi-tive impact the Snoqualmie Sister Cities Association (SSCA) has had on youth.

In 2011, McCollum was recognized by the city of Gangjin as an honorary citizen, one of only 10 individuals to receive the award.

She is a free spirit among many coun-tries, meeting with mayors, consuls gen-eral, school superintendents, teachers, and business leaders.

McCollum worked for Southwest Airlines for 25 years, training and super-vising customer service agents. She loves meeting people and instilled that in agents to create an excellent customer experience.

She has worked in many locations throughout the U.S. including Kansas City, Tulsa, Detroit, and Seattle. She has made the Snoqualmie Valley her home for many years and is tied to the community in many ways.

Recently, she made some time in her busy schedule to answer a few questions for the Record.

Why are you so passionate about the Snoqualmie Sister Cities Association?

I love opening horizons for individuals, (showing them) new cultures and new people. Our student exchange programs

exposes Mount Si High School students to cultures so very different from ours, and they make lifelong friends with students and families in other countries.

The same is true for the Korean and Peruvian students who come to study in Snoqualmie.

What are Snoqualmie’s current sister cities?

Our first sister city relationship, with Gangjin, Korea was formed in 2008. We have had six groups of Mount Si High School students go to Gangjin. My daugh-ter Sarah was on the first trip and it truly changed her perspective on life.

In 2012, we became sister cities with Chaclacayo, Peru. More than 30 Snoqualmie Valley students have visited

Chaclacayo and another 30 have come to study in Snoqualmie.

Our board members are dedicated to keeping this program growing.

How do you believe this program has changed the lives of students in Snoqualmie?

Visiting a country is one thing; staying in a home away from home and partici-pating in schools is a whole other experi-ence for kids.

We focus on our students having a com-plete immersion into the culture of the sister city they visit. Students come away with a new understanding of that culture, their own ability to adjust, the new friends they have made, and becoming a global citizen.

It has opened the hearts of hundreds of people in the Snoqualmie Valley when you consider the host family parents and sib-lings, Mount Si High School teachers, city government leaders, city employees. We include the whole Valley in the exchanges along with Snoqualmie.

How has this program changed you personally?

Because of these exchanges, my extend-ed family has grown beyond anything I could have ever imagined.

It has greatly enhanced my life, making me more sensitive to everyone I meet. Even if you don’t speak the language of the country, a smile on your face goes a long way to creating long-lasting friendships.

I am very fortunate to live in this valley with the sentinel Mt Si overlooking our unique small communities and farms and also to live with the rhythms of our wild and unpredictable river, the Snoqualmie.

I am proud to be an active member of our bioregion. Being able to both live and work here as a professional working woman is a privilege.

It is fascinating to work with the exploration of touch of all depths in the Art of Healing and its profound e� ects for clients in regard to their stated intentions. I work to create an environment that provides nourishment, a sense of freedom within one’s own body, self alignment and increased energy.

The modalities that I use are deep to light, depending on my client’s needs, from Neuromuscular, Muscle Balancing, Cranial Balancing, Acupressure, Energy work and also joyful somatic movement sequences depending on the needs of my clients.

I am fortunate to be a provider of most Health Insurances and thus get to see many people that may not otherwise � nd their way to my o� ce. Massage License #: MA 00004260

And I’m very thankful for Google Translator.

Where do you find the energy for all this?

I do not know! If you do something you love and have

a passion for, the energy naturally comes.

What are your hopes for the program going forward?

The Snoqualmie Sister Cities Association really wants to create schol-arship programs so that more Mount Si High School students can participate.

The challenge is funding. Exchanges aren’t cheap, but they are priceless.

We’re looking for doors to open. We’re in the beginning stages of a fire fighter exchange with Chaclacayo and exploring a potential Rotary relationship in Peru.

Now that I’m an active Rotarian with the Snoqualmie Valley club, I see a lot of potential for economic development

through connecting with other Rotary clubs around the world.

Why a fire fighter exchange? Chaclacayo has great need for fire fight-

ing equipment, having only one fire truck

and one aid car for a city of 40,000 citi-zens. All fire fighters are volunteer and supply their own gear.

This summer, Chaclacayo Firefighter Patricia Bendezu will visit Snoqualmie, spending part of her time at the Snoqualmie Fire Station.

Do you consider the Snoqualmie Sister Cities Association to be your career or are you heading in other directions?

Being president of Snoqualmie Sister City Association is a great honor. I love it. I’m extremely passionate about it,

however, I am in a non-profit, non-paying position.

While remaining on the board, I would like to find a position in a company that would blend my international experi-ences with my sensitivities to different cultures.

I’m leaving the future open.

What are your thoughts on the Snoqualmie Valley community, in general?

This is an amazing community. There are so many good people doing great things. I’m proud that the Snoqualmie Sister Cities Association is part of mak-ing history in the Valley while at the same time supporting our community in becoming global citizens.

This July, McCollum will bring Rotary’s Lima District Governor Carlos Roija to a Snoqualmie Valley Rotary Club meeting. Mayor David Aponte of Chaclacayo will visit Snoqualmie in August to meet Mayor Matt Larson and explore ways the two cit-ies can create more synergy.

The Snoqualmie Sister Cities Association is planning six exchanges in 2016 for students, firefighters and busi-ness leaders, including a 10-day tour in Peru with an excursion to Machu Picchu.

Mount Si High School students and adults are welcome to participate. Interested people should start planning soon, because space is limited.

To learn more about the SSCA, becom-ing part of a student or business exchange, or joining the SSCA board, contact McCollum at [email protected].

Gallup: Businesses fail at hiring managersBusinesses do a poor job picking managers to lead their employees, collectively costing billions of dollars each year, according to a recent Gallup report titled “State of the American Manager.”The report is based on more than “four decades of extensive talent research, a study of 2.5 million manag-er-led teams in 195 countries, and analysis from measuring the engagement of 27 million employees.”The research yields a striking failure rate – 82 percent – when it comes to how well companies select their managers.One important criterion for how success is measured in management is engagement, where women have a decided advantage. Those who work for female managers are, on average, six percentage points more likely to be engaged, and those who work for female managers outscore employees of male managers on 11 of 12 engagement items.

During the weight lossphases, we limit carb intake to encourage the body to turn to its fat and muscle for energy.

All Star Heating and Air Conditioning hasn’t always been a family owned business. It wasn’t until 2003 after my son’s surgery at Children’s Hospital that we came home to a cold house and a missing teddy bear hamster. Lucky for me, my neighbor found the hamster alive under the TV. But I didn’t have a clue about what to do about the dead furnace. I didn’t even know you had to do something to keep a furnace running - that was my late husband’s job. As a widow, I was used to being ripped o� , and I was ready. Sure enough, I had a few HVAC contractors tell me that I would need a new furnace. As a single mother, I couldn’t a� ord a new furnace - so my last call was to All-Star. The owner, Patrick came out and � xed my furnace for under $100. I never met a man who was more honest and caring - so I married him in 2004. We have a great company with dedicated employees that have been with us forever. As I go about my day assisting our clients, I always remember the situation I was in, and always put their needs � rst!
