Bart Hansen Appointed to Vancouver City Council
Excerpt from an article on KATU.com, January 26, 2010.
MBA student Bart Hansen was sworn in as Vancouver City Councilmember on February 1, filling the vacant position created by the election of Tim Leavitt as mayor.
Hansen will fill his new role immediately, beginning with the Feb. 1 meeting and will serve on the City Council through the end of this year. If Hansen wishes to keep his seat, he will have to win the position in the November general election in 2010 and will also be required to stand for election again in November 2011, the next regularly scheduled Councilmember election.
"This was a tough decision. We had a strong slate of candidates to choose from but I know Bart will be a great fit on the Council," Leavitt said.
Hansen is currently the Office Services Manager at Clark Public Utilities. He is also a member of the Vancouver School District Management Advisory Task Force, the Vancouver Rotary and the Clark County Mural Society. He is also a graduate of Leadership Clark County.
Hansen received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Washington State University in Pullman, Wash., and is pursuing a Masters in Business Administration from Marylhurst University.
