Why I joined the RNW Board: I am very passionate about conflict resolution. If it were up to me, children would learn conflict resolution skills starting in kindergarten...perhaps replacing math which has been far less useful in my life than good mediation skills.

Why I joined the RNW Board: Mediation is the key to our justice system. Engaging in meaningful communiction is much more effective than litigating, which our society loves to do. I enjoy working through things rather than forcing issues that should naturally resolve themselves.

Why I joined the RNW Board: For the past decade I have been impressed with the mediation and restorative justice services RNW provides. The programs RNW has developed in our community are impressive and will have a long-range impact on how people listen to and problem solve with one another. These are programs that, because they contribute to a vibrant and just community, need and deserve broad community support.
