I am leading the statewide expansion of 211info by collaborating with local leaders on implementation, fundraising and sustainability. I work closely with our external partners in helping them to realize the many benefits of 211info services in their local area. An added bonus is that I get to travel around our beautiful state of Oregon, meeting with local community members and seeing and experiencing all of the richness and diversity that Oregon has to offer its residents.

I am also leading the organizations efforts in creating and implementing a robust and diverse resource development plan in order to create long term sustainability for 211info.

I have the good fortune of working in close partnership with the CEO and all departments at 211info which is the most innovative and exciting organization that I have worked for! When not travelling I work primarily from my office in the small community of Dallas, located in the heart of the Mid-Willamette Valley.
