My full name is Linda Davidson-Gafford
What is your job title at the WCA?
HR Admin Manager at WCA
What do you do in your job at the WCA?

How long have you been with the WCA?
I have only been here for a little two months.

I was the Business Services Supervisor for Goodwill Central Coast in San Luis Obispo, CA prior to this.
What do you find most rewarding about your work at the WCA?
I feel that this is a rewarding work environment because it feels purposeful to a bigger picture, it is about more than my life or my success, it is an investment in others around us.
How have you changed or grown as a person through your work here?
I feel that my work here will help me grow as a person because we work for others who are in crisis, and hopefully our service in that capacity will make a difference in their lives.
Is there a memorable moment or story that you’d like to share that you have experienced at the WCA?
A memorable moment was one of my first Board meetings when Sunday the trauma dog was here. She does noble work with people who really need someone or something to lean on, and I thought it was really nice to know that there is a program out there that raises and trains these dogs to provide so much to people in need. I hope that Boise gets more dogs like Sunday to help victims get through the tough process that they go through.
