CougsFirst!

CougsFirst! hired Tony Poston as its new executive director. CougsFirst! was launched in 2010 by Washington State University alumni in various businesses across the state who wanted to encourage WSU graduates and friends to “Think Cougs First” for products and services. Annual trade shows in Seattle and Spokane featuring businesses owned, managed or affiliated with WSU alumni are among its most visible undertakings but the organization has grown to encompass a mentoring program, business education, virtual events and a golf tournament, with 350 plus business members that span across all industries. Poston, a WSU graduate who has served on the CougsFirst! board of directors since 2019, stepped down as CEO of College Hill on Jan. 1 in order to focus more on community-building endeavors. Poston launched College Hill in 2011 after five years managing artists and band merchandise in the music industry. In 10 years, College Hill grew from a one-room operation in an apartment to a member of Inc. magazine's 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies in America in 2016.
