WRPA announces the return of our Fall Summit. This annual, one-day educational conference has evolved and taken on many shapes over the years. This year, we will have an option of one morning workshop then two sessions in the afternoon. Topics will include communication 101, leadership, emotional intelligence, creating healthy work boundaries, and more.

This year's event will be held at the Lynnwood Convention Center. 

Join us for a day of networking, quality education, and professional development.

Karin Peabody
Training Consultant
Dynamic Teaming

My passion is serving communities of workers and helping them become strong Teams. In my workshops I seek to increase effective communication, cultivate a culture that assumes positive intent, and equip teams with real-life best practices. As I have done quite a bit of work with Public Servants, I am able to speak to the emotional cost of working with the public, as well as the rich rewards of positively affecting someone's future.

It's been my privilege to serve organizations such as WA State Librarians, Kitsap County, City of Tacoma, Pierce County, Tacoma and Federal Way Schools, and Young Life.
