Talia - You are a true gift to the Outdoor School movement! Your experience in working as an instructor at multiple outdoor centers around the country, provided us all with a holistic perspective of what is possible. Thank you! I am grateful for your strong organizational and planning skills, initiative, tenacity, and inclusive coalition building.

I hope you are proud of all that you have accomplished. We will sure miss you, but will be your biggest cheerleaders as you enter your next chapter!

You have a warm and welcoming personality and it helped me feel like I could be part of the group when I wasn't sure how our organization fit in. Thank you for your thoughtful positivity in looking for ways to make connections happen, get us all involved, and try to get through the roadblocks to equal access for all WA kids.

Thank you so much for all your hard work organizing everything WOSC over the past year. I truly do not think that nearly as much would have gotten done without you. It was always fun to see and talk with you whether on Zoom or on a site visit. I hope to continue seeing you around Outdoor Education opportunities in Washington or elsewhere!

You brought together a lot of passionate outdoor educators with backgrounds from all walks of life. Had us spill our thoughts onto many tables. We are far ahead because of the work you did and remember a kid out there who may never have gone to outdoor school is packing bags for something that’ll change their life in a positive way because of you. Keep playing that guitar :)

NCI was so lucky to have you work for us and the whole damn WA EE community has been lucky as well! It takes a brave and talented person to wrangle a bunch of EE nerds and you did it so damn well. Dammit, you are a boss.

Talia, You are the best! Thanks for everything. Best of luck with your next adventure.

You are a force of nature!!!

When I joined this community a year ago you were one of the first people to welcome me and help me feel included. You did that for so many of us with your welcomes each WOSC meeting. Everyone knows you because you make the effort to know everyone. Your connections were and still are the glue that holds WOSC together!

I know this is the end for now of the Coalition Manager position. I hope that we can find ways for you to stay involved in the future! We wouldn't be who we are today without you!

Somewhere I have a list of guitar songs I was going to send you and someday I'll go through with my plan to buy one and take it up again. You inspired me to!

Take care, Talia! Good luck with the future, near and far! :)
