Maggi Gerhard interviews David Duea, Part II

I recently met Maggi Gerhard, HR Generalist, in David's Corner for Part II of our fun "turn the tables" interview, following Part I last week. She asked me a couple questions that I found touching and we did a rapid fire volley I really enjoyed. Maggi is a great interviewer. Come join us!

Meet Ron Weaver

It was a pleasure to meet up with Ron Weaver in Portland for a David's Corner conversation. We covered a wide range of topics from Black History Month to how he builds equity practices with his teams as the Program Supervisor for LCSNW's Substance Use programs. This sports fan and athlete even surprised me with a previous NFL tryout and the celebrities he met along the way. If you want to know which team he was up for, you'll have to tune in. Come join us!  Please make recommendations of colleagues to be highlighted in the future, and leave a comment below for Ron and I. Thanks to Yulia Shipulina, Community Outreach Coordinator in Portland for filming today's video.   David Health, Justice and Hope

I took the important step to care for my mental health. For the first time in my life, I reached out to a therapist to help me.
