“Laird is an amazing resource in terms of experience, presentation and 
facilitation style, and ability to effectively connect with individuals under 
challenging circumstances. This is a great opportunity for thinking about how 
to handle conflict in community. Laird offered very practical suggestions for 
the kind of agreements that need to be in place for a community to tackle this 
in a way that ensures both accountability and safety for all members. Talking 
about conflict can sound scary, but having it organized into concrete steps 
made it seem not only possible, but absolutely worth doing.” Leslie T.
