Heather Shields Maine Women's Project - Katie Harris

My inspiring friend Katie Harris has a huge role with a huge enterprise, but she also has a special appreciation for small gestures and simple beauties. As the leader of government affairs for MaineHealth, she's at the intersection of health, politics, business, and community. It's a role that requires both pragmatism and compassion, and there's no one better at balancing those than Katie. I’m not sure I’ve ever met such a doer. I'm honored to serve on two development committees of the Olympia Snowe Women’s Leadership Institute with Katie; she's just as much a force in her volunteer life as in her job. But beyond her major leadership roles, she's also gifted at elevating the nuances that make so Maine special, particularly our people and our heritage. Katie’s a native Mainer too and we share our love for this incredible state, especially the rural pockets where we grew up.

2023 Maine Women's Project
The 2023 Maine Women’s Project, a collaboration of portraits created by the amazing Kari Herer. These portraits depict women that I’ve been lucky enough to meet in this job or women I’m lucky enough to know by working in the state of Maine. They each share their stories of living in Maine, what they think makes it special and some of their favorite spots around our state. By launching this project, Kari and I are hoping to give these women the recognition they deserve while telling their stories. We want you to catch a glimpse of life in our state through the lens of these incredible women. Some of these women are native Mainers, some are new residents, some are subtle, some are bold. All are change makers.
