Rachel Roth Sawatzky, EdD
As a facilitator, educator, and consultant, Rachel is guided not only by the question, “What do we have to do?” but also by the questions, “What do we get to do?”, “What fundamentally drives us?”, and “What’s at stake—if we rise to the moment, and if we don’t?” This reflective, collaborative approach shapes her ability to engage difficult conversations with compassion and humanity, inviting institutions to align policy, practice, and purpose. Her work is grounded in a commitment to creative problem-solving, inclusive engagement, and the development of organizational environments that balance accountability, care, and community well-being.
