In 2012, a New Editor for the News

The Northwest Dharma Association is very happy to announce the hiring of Steve Wilhelm as editor of the Northwest Dharma News. He begins work in January in preparation for the Spring 2012 issue of the News.

Steve is a professional journalist on the staff of the Puget Sound Business Journal in Seattle. He is also a longtime supporter of the Northwest Dharma Association, having served on its board for many years, including several as President of the Board. Steve welcomes suggestions and news tips for upcoming issues. Please contact him at stevellen95@comcast.net.

Retiring is Julie Welch, also a former NWDA board member, who has volunteered as writer and editor since the News went online in September 2007. She plans to continue as a contributor to the News.

Julie wishes to thank all the writers, photographers, and other inspirational collaborators who have contributed to the NW Dharma News during the last four years. David Forsythe, Timothy O’Brien, Amy Groncznack, Caterina De Re and fellow members of the Northwest Dharma Association Board of Directors come to mind for all their hard work and wisdom, but there are many, many others who have shared their time, knowledge, and skills. Very special thanks goes to graphic designer Stephen Schildbach, not only for being such an excellent partner in this endeavor but also a beautiful example of Dharma in daily life.
