Guiding Excellence. Shaping Our Future.
Tessera is supported by two governance bodies: a Board of Directors providing strategic oversight for our nonprofit 501(c)(3) operations, and an Advisory Board offering business insight for our LLC operations. This dual structure strengthens our purpose and keeps us accountable, innovative, and focused on creating opportunities for people with disabilities.
With diverse expertise and a commitment to excellence, our Board of Directors helps steer us toward sustainable growth and lasting impact for the people and communities we serve.

Our History:
An Emerging Mosaic
Founded in Washington state nearly four decades ago, our success is built on a simple yet powerful principle: incredible results come from empowering individuals through purposeful work. From crafting jump ropes in our beginnings, to serving government and industry, we have evolved while staying true to our purpose. Our original name, Skookum, meaning “strong and well-made,” represented our foundation. As we transition to Tessera, we embrace a new identity that reflects our growth and the mosaic of individuals who share our legacy.
