My words will never do justice to Tamu and her talent, commitment and dedication to addressing pain, grief and trauma.  Tamu came to the agency during a dark time for us and through love, compassion, kindness and patience, she helped all us individually and collectively process our sadness, disappointment and fear. 

Tamu’s leadership created a safe space for us and she lead us in facilitating difficult conversations during a difficult time.  Tamu also left us with tools and the ability to move forward as we continue to do this work and continue to have authentic, trauma-informed conversation and movement. 

I will forever be grateful for the support and grace Tamu showed DASACC, and I appreciate all the lessons learned.

​Jill Zinckgraf, EdD, MPA, Executive Director DASACC
