Current Board of Directors

Message from Kit Christensen, Board Chair

I have been on the board of directors for Peacemaker Resources since 2011, and I hope to continue serving as a board member into the foreseeable future because I strongly believe in the mission of Peacemaker Resources. ​Teaching peacemaking, respectful conflict resolution, and cooperative life skills to children of all ages, and by extension to their families, is something that can have a significant and long-lasting positive impact on our communities, whether we think locally, regionally, or globally. Providing conflict management resources for adults along with improving the social-emotional health of workplaces and other organizational environments is another part of this mission, and it too is definitely worth supporting as a way to enhance community life directly and indirectly for all of us. I think the staff is amazingly talented and dedicated to PR's guiding values, and they give me good reason for hope, so I am grateful for the work they do.
