The Healthy Worksite Summit, hosted by the Association of WA Cities, is the Northwest’s premier training event dedicated to making workplaces healthy places. Attendees represent both large and small organizations from the public and private sectors.
The Balanced You team has attended the Healthy Worksite Summit for several years as participants and speakers. This year, Karla Clark, Employee Health and Well-Being Project/Program Manager III, who has served on the Summit’s planning committee for three years, partnered with Junelle Kroontje, Employee Social Impact and Well-being Manager, and Leslie Monteiro, Wellness Program Manager at King County Metro to lead a session on how to design wellness programs that work. Karla and Leslie also co-hosted a session entitled “Collaboration between large and small departments.”
The Balanced You team’s presence at the Summit reflects their commitment to workplace well‑being and their dedication to ongoing learning. By contributing as presenters, planners, and participants, they help shape — and continue to learn from — a regional conversation about effective, equitable well‑being programs. As the Summit continues to bring together leaders and learners from across sectors, Balanced You remains dedicated to advancing strategies that make healthier workplaces not just an aspiration, but a shared reality.
