Kerry Savage of Baker City appointed to Oregon Heritage Commission

Kerry Savage of Baker City has been appointed by Governor Kate Brown to a four-year term on the Oregon Heritage Commission.
Savage is the Baker County Assessor and has served a variety of roles in the Baker County Assessor's Office for the past 30 years. During this time, Savage recognized the need to preserve the office's records in a digital format and began interacting with Oregon Heritage and the Oregon Heritage Grant program to support the purchase of a scanner to digitize the county's surveys. This work aligns closely with the Heritage Commission's focus on seeking statewide solutions for digitizing collections. Savage is also an active community member who has served on the Baker School District budget board and in a variety of community roles including Little League, YMCA programs, Baker County Man of the Year for 2000, Boy Scouts of America volunteer of the year in 2000, EW shrine parade coordinator for three years, a member of the cohort five of the Ford Family Leadership program, and the 2017-2018 past president of the Oregon Association of County Assessors.

"It's an honor to be appointed to the Oregon Heritage Commission. I look forward to helping foster a deeper appreciation of our state's history, so that Oregonians have a better understanding of our current society and an awareness of their own role in shaping the future. As a rural Oregon Assessor, my passion for digitizing documents came from the flood of the Baker County Courthouse. The Oregon Heritage Commission Grant helped to make these critical government documents accessible to the taxpayers. History can be found in our buildings, our culture and in our documents-they tell Oregon's story," noted Savage about his appointment. "We are excited to have someone actively involved in the eastern Oregon community who also brings a local government perspective to the Commission," said Beth Dehn, Heritage Commission Coordinator.

The Heritage Commission is comprised of nine people representing Oregon's heritage and geographical diversity. There are also nine advisory representatives from state agencies and statewide organizations.

The mission of the Heritage Commission is to secure, sustain, and enhance Oregon's heritage by ensuring coordination of heritage initiatives by public and private organizations; advocacy on its behalf; education of the public about its extent and value; and promotion and celebration of its diversity. For more information, commission coordinator Beth Dehn at 503-986-0696 or Beth.Dehn at Oregon.gov<mailto:Beth.Dehn at Oregon.gov> or visit the Commission's website at www.oregonheritage.org<http://www.oregonheritage.org>.
