Deputy Mayor Amy Howard

Amy arrived in Port Townsend in 2000 as a wayward youth, homeless and escaping from poverty and substance abuse. Here she found a community of legitimate weirdos that supported and raised her up. Amy has since earned a certificate of Nonprofit Executive Leadership from the Evans School of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Washington, as well as an Advanced Certificate of Municipal Leadership through the Association of Washington Cities. She has been supported by and volunteered with many organizations throughout Jefferson County, with a focus on human services. Amy is currently the Manager of Volunteer Engagement at Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County.
