Onward & Upward

BY LINDSEY PINKSTON Highlands Council Executive Director

Dahlia Park resident Carol Halas—that friendly face greeting you when you enter Blakely Hall—was recently promoted to Office & Contracts Manager for Highlands Council, effective Jan. 1.

Carol initially joined the team part-time as Administrative Coordinator in March 2022, and quickly became an integral member of the Highlands Council team.

Now in her new, expanded role, Carol is responsible for the Blakely Hall rental business as well as advertising sales and management (including advertising in printed Connections, in our weekly E-News and on issaquahighlands.com).

Carol’s management of the Highlands Council office and cheerful customer service has affectionately earned her the informal title of “Queen of the Office.” Stop by Blakely Hall on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. to meet Carol and learn more about Blakely Hall rentals or advertising opportunities. You can also reach out to her directly at 425-507-1107 or carol.h@ihcouncil.org.
