Community Service Award and Daffodil Court

Korbett Mosesly has spent more than a decade working on equity and inclusion, in the for-profit, non-profit, and government sectors, on issues such as education, health, workforce, and housing.

He just completed a three year term on the City of Tacoma’s Human Services commission and now serves on the Board of the Puyallup Watershed Initiative, and recently helped to create Tacoma Roots, a community group that works on the intersection of environmental issues, race, and poverty. 

He publishes the Hilltop Action Journal newspaper, a volunteer-organized publication, focused on community priorities of Tacoma’s Hilltop residents.

He reaches out to other individuals and organizations to collaborate on poverty issues, and is constantly coming up with new ideas to improve the status of the underserved in Tacoma.  He uses his own Facebook page to inform others about training and employment opportunities and creates GIS mapping, to visually show the inequities in Tacoma and Pierce County.   

Korbett has a Master’s Degree in public administration from the Evergreen State College.   He is a long-time member of the Pierce County Black Collective and a Senior Fellow (Class of 18) of the American Leadership Forum.
