Lisa leads the state-wide SFH program and is based at the Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Center in Mount Vernon, Washington. Originally from Iowa, Lisa developed her agricultural interests while spending summers on her family’s farm and helping her grandmother cultivate a diverse farmyard garden. Her horticultural interests grew as she engaged in international development projects at Iowa State University (ISU), which is where she also earned her BS in biology and horticulture. She continued studying at ISU and got her M.S. in both horticulture and soil science before continuing to the University of Wisconsin-Madison for her Ph.D. Lisa joined WSU in 2014 and has developed a diverse research and extension program with an emphasis on maximizing productivity, fruit quality, and on-farm efficiencies while ensuring the health of adjacent natural resources critical for small fruit crop production in the Pacific Northwest. Primary research areas include optimizing pollination services in small fruit crops, improved end-of-life management of agricultural plastics used in small fruit crop production, machine harvesting technologies, and nutrient management.

Hello, it is my pleasure to meet each of you!

Dr. Feaver has a background in the synthesis and processing of high-performance earth-abundant carbon and silicon materials. He co-founded two materials companies in the energy storage space: Group14 and EnerG2. Feaver and the team grew EnerG2 (which was recently acquired by BASF) from a small venture-backed start-up company to a 100-person manufacturing organization with locations in Seattle and Oregon. Group14, with operations in Woodinville, WA, is focused on producing advanced silicon materials that increase lithium-ion batteries’ energy capacity. Feaver has written and spoken extensively on Materials Science & Engineering, as well as the specific use of carbon and silicon materials in transportation and clean energy storage applications.

Feaver was also a project manager and engineer at the Boeing Company, where he worked in Liaison Engineering and Value Engineering. He serves on the board of advisors for the University of Washington’s Materials Science and Engineering Department. He holds a BA in Physics from North Central College, a BS in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Washington.

Joseph Scott Gladstone, Ph.D., MPH, is an associate professor of management at Washington State University’s Everett campus, where he teaches various undergraduate management courses. His scholarship explores culturally relevant management education, notably the intersection of western-influenced management science and Native American and Indigenous Peoples cultures, and management education strategies utilizing cooperative extension services.<br><br>In his career, Dr. Gladstone’s international work explores transplanar wisdom, a foundational Native American and Indigenous philosophy, and its influences on organization management, efficiency, and ethics. His work is published in Academy of Management Learning & Education, Leadership, The Journal of Management Education, American Indian Quarterly, and American Indian Culture and Research Journal, as well as other journals and numerous book chapters. He is a co-editor of American Indian Business: Principles and Practice (University of Washington Press), the first and only general management text of its kind serving the U.S. market.

Dr. Gladstone founded the Native and Indigenous Peoples Caucus in the Academy of Management. The NAIPC today represents a global cadre of scholars promoting and advocating for Native and Indigenous management epistemology as equal to current, dominant Western-influence management thought. He is a founding member of NABSWASAI, the Native American Business Scholars working group. He is a past president of the Ph.D. Project Management Doctoral Students Association and serves as one of their faculty advisors.

Dr. Gladstone is an enrolled member of the Blackfeet Tribe of Montana and a recognized Nez Perce (Idaho) descendant. He is originally from his campus site in the U.S. Pacific Northwest while retaining a home in southern New Mexico. He earned his Ph.D. at New Mexico State University, studying Management under David Boje and Native American philosophy under Gregory Cajete (Tewa) and Don Pepion (Piikani). He holds a Master of Public Health degree in community health education and promotion from the University of Arizona, where he focused on tribal health program management issues.

Since 2022, I have served as a Program Assistant for the Program in Data Analytics at WSU. I leverage my diverse background in accounting and retail management to ensure smooth program operations and connect with stakeholders as the primary point of contact. When I am not contributing professionally, I’m actively involved in my children’s school, finding joy in connecting with future generations and cherishing the beauty of Everett with my family. This balance between dedication and personal fulfillment fuels my drive to make a positive impact in both the workplace and my community.
