Meet Senator Kayse Jama


Today let's meet Oregon State Sen. Kayse Jama, who used to be on the LCSNW staff in Portland. I'm delighted that the "guest host" is Salah Ansary, Senior Director of Advocacy and Government Affairs. He and Kayse go way back, years before Kayse became a state lawmaker in 2021. They met when Kayse was an asylum seeker from Somalia and a client of LCSNW.

Please make recommendations of staff colleagues to be highlighted in a future David's Corner and leave a comment below for Salah or David.

Normally I'm asking the questions in a David's Corner conversation, but I was delighted to have the tables turned on me when Maggi Gerhard, HR Generalist, took the reigns of the interview. (Winning a contest put her in the driver's seat!) We cover a wide range of topics from how to create a unified organization to the more humbling revelation of my worst fashion mistake. Our conversation is in two parts. Grab some coffee and join me in the hot seat!
