Jo has been interested in the
United Nations all her adult life. Dag Hammarskj_ld
has been her lifelong hero. Although she earned an M.A. in international
affairs at George Washington University, she switched from macro
relationships to micro relationships by earning a master's in counseling and
human services at Boston University.
After 30 years of teaching and counseling, Jo is now retired. Besides being
president of the UNA-Spokane, she volunteers for the YWCA preschool program,
is a precinct official for the Democratic Party, and takes private voice
lessons. She is married to Chuck Kerkering and is the mother of two and
grandmother of three.
