<p class="MsoNormal">It gives me great pleasure to introduce the new Oregon SLIM Program Director, Jeana Menger! She started on July 15<sup>th</sup> so that we can overlap for a while, and she now has her Emporia email address –

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Jeana is a 2014 Oregon SLIM alum and is coming back to SLIM after having worked as a knowledge manager in the IT dept at Portland General Electric (PGE). She is also passionate about children’s services and resources and is finishing up
her year as co-chair of the Children’s Services Division (CSD) of OLA.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
