Gale Eschete - New Office Manager

I joined Iris in June 2007 as the new Office Manger for the Seattle DMC. I've lived in Seattle since 2001 and am originally from South Louisiana. I previously worked for a group of Oceanographic Consultants here in the Seattle area, as their Corporate Administrator. In my spare time I enjoy exploring the Pacific Northwest, playing with my two 13 year old cats ( who remain pretty feisty for old ladies), reading, cooking and attempting to garden. I look forward to working with everyone and becoming part of the IRIS family.

Leanne Rubin - Office Manager leaves the IRIS DMC

After almost 10 years as the Office Manager and unofficial office mother, Leanne Rubin is leaving her position at the IRIS DMC to pursue other interests. She will begin taking coursework in garden & landscape design this summer. You can see one of her completed garden projects in the August 2007 issue of Sunset Magazine.
