There’s still room in our Art of Giving and Receiving Feedback training!

The WDRC is offering the Art of Giving and Receiving Feedback with Jason Kanov on Wednesday, June 10th from 2:00pm to 5:00pm.

This course explores the importance of feedback and techniques for framing feedback and receiving feedback. The training will also cover common traps to avoid, helping participants navigate difficult conversations constructively and ease.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at our Annual Appreciation Celebration. It was a pleasure to come together and celebrate this year’s Outstanding Volunteer Joshua-Mishra Davis, Outstanding Mediator Molly Belvo, and Outstanding Contributor, Puget Sound Energy

We are deeply grateful for our staff, volunteers, and supporters that generously dedicate their time, energy, connections, and resources to help further our mission. It is thanks to the support we receive from our strong and caring community that neighbors are finding constructive ways to navigate conflict, young people are building lifelong communication skills, and families are receiving the support they need to reconnect.

We also want to give a special shout out to the community partners who helped make this event possible: Thank you to Lost Giants Cider Company for generously hosting us, Costco of Bellingham for providing our desserts, the folks at Lutheran Community Services Northwest and Whatcom County Health and Community Services for supplying tables and chairs, Garden Spot Nursery or donating wildflower seeds for all our guests, and Allied Arts Of Whatcom County for donating art supplies for our interactive peace tree.

And thank you to all the supporters that were unable to make it but are nonetheless near and dear to the WDRC and our community.
