Katherine Williams

Laurette was my team leader in the National Transitional Housing team. She managed our team with knowledge, experience and kindness. Laurette encouraged her team to succeed and excel and allowed space to grow professionally. Laurette has a heart for people: those she manages, those she advises, and at the forefront, those who benefit from a social service. Her management style is extremely professional and efficient, and she builds and nurtures the space created for her employees.

Sue Henshaw
