Leonard receives PASSION award Woven By Selena Boise Spilyay Tymoo Women and Children's Ser vices Coordinator Gwen Leonard recently receiyed the PASSION Award. She is one of the first to receive this award of the Oregon Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence. PASSION stands for Perse verance, Advocacy, Support, Strength, Integrity, Optimism, and Nurturance. The award is dedicated to individuals who exemplify these qualities in sup port of their program's goals. Leonard has been with the Warm Springs Victims of Crime Services for over a year and was nominated for the award by her co-workers. In their letter, they stated, "There is a saying that a wise woman thinks twice, then speaks once. This describes our friend and co-worker Gwen Leonard. She is the epitome of X ,m- I f Gwen Leonard holding her award, which is made of glass. the PASSION philosophy." At a recent talking circle within their office she was rec ognized as quiet, one can almost see the wheels turning as she "thinks twice." When she speaks, she does it softly, slowly and thoughtfully, every word matters. Leonard's co-workers also stated that she was caring, sen sitive and has an open heart. Victims feel comfortable talking with her. She has a calming sense about her and is a good listener. She is client focused and wants to be there for them, she doesn't let personal opinions get in the way and she looks for good in everyone. Leonard not only advocates for her clients, but for the wel fare of the community as a whole. She is dedicated to the ser vice of others needs, as she stated once, "I was born to do this work." I ier co-workers conclude the following: "She radiates an in ner strength and joy of service. I Ier positive attitude is conta gious. There is a strong gratitude and appreciation felt by her co workers and her clients. Most important, Gwen cherishes the positive choices clients make to change their lives to be stron ger, safer, healthier and happier."
