Jaelynn in the News

“Jaelynn is an incredible leader that has been leading transformational social change initiatives in Seattle- but her impact has reached communities nationally.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jaelynn in different capacities and continue to be in awe of her expertise that she lends as well as her patience as a leader of such a formidable project.
In short, she’s truly a talent.”

“We need more leaders like Jaelynn: smart, kind, accountable, committed to collective progress, but willing to cut a better path for others to follow. I’ve worked with Jaelynn over three years, and I’ve learned so much from how she balances making sure people ‘get it’ with helping people get things done. Just as important, she focuses on developing and elevating leadership in everyone she works with.
I look forward to seeing Jaelynn lead our community’s most important work for decades to come. We’re lucky to have Jaelynn in our community, and she’ll make any team she leads more effective.”

“Jaelynn Scott is a phenomenal leader. I’ve witnessed Jaelynn’s work to transform the Lavender Rights Project: she has worked with her team to revise the organization’s mission to something inspirational, powerful, and necessary. She has brought on talented and visionary staff who she is managing with respect, care, and wisdom.
As an Executive Director myself, I have appreciated being able to share space and ideas with Jaelynn, who offers grace and intelligence as we navigate challenging jobs in challenging times.
Our organizations work together frequently and I’m proud of our collaborations. We’ve been able to partner on litigation strategies, policy advocacy and have even met together with lawmakers to share information about important civil rights issues facing LGBTQ+ communities. I’m deeply appreciative of the ways Jaelynn and her team show up in these settings and I know it is due to Jaelynn’s thoughtful leadership.”
