David's Corner

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!

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!

Juliane Rohr probably has one of the toughest jobs in the agency as a Community Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner with our Spokane team. In our conversation, she talks about how we can all be advocates for victims.

Would you help me welcome Nina Maus, our new Controller at LCSNW? She's responsible for many of our financial systems and processes. She may be a whiz at numbers, but she's also a Yellowstone fan who loves giving back by working for nonprofits. And that makes her a perfect addition to our team! Come meet Nina.
