Monday, August 31. He is currently working as the Director of the Crook County Library and brings with him strong management experience, extensive understanding of the interests and needs of libraries throughout Oregon, and knowledge of Library Support services
and programs. He has served in leadership roles with the Oregon Library Association and with his public policy education and background, he brings an understanding of state government and the legislative process.
