Washington Courts: Press Release DetailRon Miles and Renee Townsley of Spokane courts chosen as 2015 Court Managers of the YearDecember 22, 2015
Spokane County Superior Court Administrator Ron Miles and Washington Court of Appeals Division III Administrator Renee Townsley have been named 2015 Court Managers of the Year by the Washington State Court Management Council.
The Court Manager of the Year Award is presented to a manager or administrator who demonstrates leadership of regional or statewide impact beyond what is expected of an individual court manager.
Miles was nominated by Spokane Superior Court Judge Sam Cozza. In his nomination, Judge Cozza noted Miles’s work on implementation of a new information system and implementation of a new state court rule governing public access to court administrative records. Miles was also nominated for his excellent budget management and his support of many subcommittees and associations.
Townsley was nominated by Judge Laurel Siddoway of the Court of Appeals, Division III in Spokane. Judge Siddoway nominated Townsley for her extensive work with state and national organizations over the last 23 years toward improving the work of the courts, as well as her exceptional daily service to the public and judges and staff of Division III. Townsley also played a key role in the amendment of appellate court rules to add efficiencies to the court transcript procedure and provide better access to the courts.
The Court Management Council is a statewide forum in which court officials work to enhance the administration of courts. The Court Manager of the Year Award was established in 1987 to honor outstanding court managers, and is awarded each year to an individual whose leadership has been transformative on a regional or statewide basis and who has mobilized and unified others to take action for improvement of the state judicial system.
