It is not our job to remain whole. We came to lose our leaves Like the trees, and be born again, Drawing up from the great roots. ― Robert Bly

Pathways Staff Transition It is with mixed emotions we announce that Laura Nelson, our wonderful administrative coordinator, will be leaving Pathways at the end of December. Laura has been invaluable to Pathways in so many ways -- especially connecting with our participants and providers, mastering our scheduling process, and bringing her many dimensions and talents to her work. Her absence will truly be felt.❤ With that said, we are beginning our search for a new administrative coordinator. We're hoping to cast a wide net, so please help us get the word out.
