About Sinéad Voorhees

Sinead Voorhees is a native of Ireland and earned her M.Sc. in development practice from Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. Voorhees has spent over a decade aligning passion with opportunity with time spent in the fields of international development, event management and academia. Within her tenure leading the graduate studies in business at Whitworth University, she has doubled the size of the MBA program making it the fastest growing MBA in the area. She catalyzed Whitworth\'s growing expertise in business leadership through co-launching the Institute of Leadership and the Master of Business Leadership graduate degree. She continues to implement a \'people first\' approach and believes in the power of collaboration and servant leadership. In 2014, she was recognized as one of the Inland Northwest\'s top 20 Under 40 rising professionals and in 2019 was featured on the cover of Spokane/Coeur d\'Alene magazine as one of the top 20 women in business leadership; an award she won in the Newcomer division. In the fall of 2019 she was recognized as a Spokane Journal of Business Rising Star; an honor given annually to only ten deserving professionals under 40 in the Inland Northwest. In 2022 she was featured on the cover of the Spokane Journal of Business for her work in women\'s leadership and executive education and was a guest reporter in the Executive Women International insert in the November 2022 Spokane Journal of Business issue. She speaks publicly and candidly about being a working mom, women in the workforce and confidence. She is a mother to four children, is married to the love of her life and happily calls Spokane home on their family\'s 10.5 acres of heaven.
