What Our Members Have to Say

“The combination of community, education, churches and labor is as grassroots as it gets. Sound Alliance has brought more than just a new perspective to how we work together but an understanding our common interests and goals.

Our members have benefitted greatly in the training of new and old leadership, opportunities to think outside the same box we have been in since our forefathers’ inception and an outlet for personal interests of members that may not be a part of our core work, but which complement our mission."
—    Shannon Hagen, Political & Special Projects Coordinator, IBEW Local 46

“The Alliance provides opportunities for those often left outside the protection of liberty and justice to grow into transformational leaders as they advocate for social change within their own communities.”
—   Shirley Bondon, former Sound Alliance Board President and member of Miles Memorial CME

Del Hoover, Deacon at St. VIncent de Paul Parish, a Sound Alliance member institution, and Randy Scott of the Washington Pipe Trades, also a member.  Randy is also a member of the IAF Northwest Board of Directors.

“St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church was one of the first faith communities to become a full member of Sound Alliance. It has become a wonderful and powerful opportunity for some members of the parish to be engaged in social ministry, not only in the parish, but in the larger community as well. With the support of the City of Federal Way and the Alliance, we have become a community warming station and have assisted SustainableWorks in finding 230 homes interested in having energy audits. It has expanded our vision of who we are both as Christians and as members of a community.”
