Lynn Nelson Since the inception of TWD in 2000,I have been passionate about helping people step out of poverty through financial literacy based on the individual's own core values. Lynne, a therapist with Bridging Counseling Ministries, has lived in Bellingham with her husband David for over 20 years; they have 4 adult children
Kate Mellema My decision to become involved with TWD came from personally witnessing the positive affects TWD program had on Trudy Shuravloff (current TWD Executive Director) and her husband John Shuravloff. Characteristics that I most appreciate about TWD program are that it teaches practical skills, it s available to anyone, and meets the needs of Whatcom County residents. Programs like TWD are particularly important during these challenging economic times. The tools that TWD teaches are invaluable in helping people get a grasp on their spending habits. TWD program teaches individuals to make good financial decisions.
