<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Dr. Rodgers received his Doctorate in Research and Evaluation Methodology from Utah State University in 2003. Shortly afterward, he joined the American Foundation for Suicide
Prevention (AFSP) as an evaluation scientist, where he managed the Best Practices Registry for Suicide Prevention in collaboration with the Suicide Prevention Resource Center. In this capacity, he managed a team that reviewed over 100 different suicide prevention
programs while developing a thorough understanding of the elements that contribute to the success of suicide prevention programs.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Dr. Rodgers hopes to contribute to the LivingWorks’ thirty-year legacy as the world’s leading suicide prevention training company. “LivingWorks is known throughout the field for
the quality and effectiveness of their programs,” he said. “I hope to add to the high regard of LivingWorks by helping to create new programs and improving on those that are already in place.”</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">As Vice President of Design, Development and Evaluation, Dr. Rodgers will manage the development of new programs, evaluate existing programs to ensure their effectiveness, facilitate
rigorous external reviews, and engage the trainer network on matters relating to program development and evaluation.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">“My immediate goals are to see suicide to Hope through the pilot and field trial phases, encourage and support rigorous evaluation of LivingWorks programs, and develop resources
that will aid in the effective implementation of LivingWorks programs across multiple settings,” Rodgers stated. “In the future, I would also like to see the development of programs that directly serve the needs of those with lived experience of suicide—those
who have attempted suicide or have been at heightened risk.”</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
