OCCUPATION: RN; Danville Services of Oregon
OCCUPATIONAL BACKGROUND: Nursing in Portland at St. Vincent's and Emanuel Hospitals; Parry Center for Children; Portland Public Schools; OHSU and Multnomah Education Service District.
EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND: Parkrose Senior High School; Emanuel Hospital School of Nursing; Oregon Health Sciences University Division of Continuing Education.
PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIENCE: 1984 to present: Director, East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District; 1989 to 1999, Member, Oregon Soil and Water Conservation Commission.
Since 1984 I have been privileged to serve as a Director on the East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District. During this time the District has worked with private individuals, groups of citizens, local, state and federal governments and agencies to identify and address natural resource conservation issues.
My work with the District for the past several years has emphasized an expansion of our efforts to raise awareness of and reduce water pollution in urban, suburban and rural areas. We work closely with local watershed councils such as Johnson Creek, Columbia Slough and The Sandy River Basin councils which are made up of local stakeholders in these important local water ways.
I am dedicated to the principle that Conservation Districts are local people working together to achieve consensus on natural resource issues, ensuring that all viewpoints are considered. Soil and Water Conservation Districts are non-regulatory units of local government. Their non-partisan, volunteer Directors are the “bridge” between citizens whose economic welfare depends on our natural resources and those whose interest is principally the protection of our environment. I will continue to work with everyone concerned for the conservation and careful use of our natural resources upon which all of our lives depend.
Thank you for your VOTE!
