David's Corner

I had the most delightful conversation with Munira Farah, Clinical Supervisor in the GPS District. She and 21 colleagues from the Behavioral Health Counseling Services team recently moved from small offices in Kent, WA, to our SeaTac location. She strives to always be learning in her supervisory role and is passionate about supporting staff to enjoy their jobs and do their best. Parenting has changed this former introvert and current mom of two little ones in ways that will bring a smile to your face. Take a break and join us at David's Corner. Please make recommendations of colleagues to be highlighted in the future, and leave a comment below for Munira and David. David Health, Justice and Hope

Please join Heather Tinsley and me for a summertime edition of David's Corner. Heather is a Peer Support Specialist at our Relief Nursery in Klamath Fall, OR. -- a town of special fondness to me.

This kayaker and fledgling gardener is grateful to LCSNW for encouraging her to transition her career to this role. Let's meet up at David's Corner.

I had a conversation this week with Sergio Razo, Chief Technology Officer, about our Microsoft Office 365 transformation project.
