About Jessica Kirk
I am a result focused management professional offering over 20 years of progressive senior leadership and business management experience across the Inland Northwest as a business owner, operations and business development director, human resources strategist, and regional ambassador. I have developed and cultivated a network of excellent relationships within major businesses, economic development associations, prime contractors, and the region’s various chamber of commerce, and government agencies. I am actively engaged with Fairchild Air Force Bases Forward Fairchild committee, Washington Apex Accelerator program promoting procurement in Washington State, and long-term strategic planning through Spokane Transit Authority for the region. By identifying and collaborating with true decision makers and high-level influencers, I have been successful within the Greater Spokane Region by moving initiatives and policy forward with the region’s top business resource providers. Additionally, my efforts were instrumental in a $10M homelessness initiative, and $1.6M Spokane County campaign for PPE distribution, supporting over 5,500 small businesses and non-profits.
