JRP volunteer Louise Wannier recently completed an executive coaching project with Western Justice Center Exec. Dir. Judge Judy Chirlin. Judy had retired as a judge when she was recruited to head up the Western Justice Center, but she soon realized that there were many skills she was lacking to run a nonprofit, like fundraising. Louise’s coaching projects with Judy helped Judy fulfill her not-quite-a-retiree job by prioritizing the many things this small organization needs to succeed and find areas where Judy could get support. They loved working together and have a lot of new staff with a myriad of skills that will help the WJC continue to build a more civil, peaceful world.
