Annu Luthra
Annu’s family moved to Seattle in 1982 and she participated and performed in IACS/IAWW events from the start of the organization back in the late 1980s. As a teenager, IAWW (now IACS) was one of the platforms which gave her the opportunity to meet other kids with similar backgrounds and build lifelong friendships. Annu is passionate about volunteering to make a difference. She was the PTSA treasurer for two years at Newcastle Elementary and joined the IACS executive board in 2012 to give back to the community. She has served on the IACS board as Secretary, Vice President, President and this is her ninth year as the Youth Leadership Program Director. Annu is also on the King County Children and Youth Advisory Board. Annu started her career working at Microsoft while majoring in Marketing at the University of Washington and held variety of roles over the years.Email: ypdirector@iaww.org
