Deschutes Children's Foundation Staff Reflections
November 4th, 2009
As we move into a new phase of leadership at Deschutes Children’s Foundation, the staff would like to say a few words about Jan Eggleston and what we are looking forward to with our new director, Kim McNamer.
I will sincerely miss working with Jan. She has taught me so much in the time that I’ve been with the organization and has been a great leader. I’m really looking forward to learning from Kim, as I know that she has so much to share with Deschutes Children’s Foundation. I am excited about a new adventure with Kim guiding our organization to great things. I know that we will all make Jan proud of us in what we accomplish together.
–Heather Crawley, Administrative Assistant
I look forward to taking what I have learned from Jan’s years of expertise of DCF events and combining them with Kim’s fresh ideas. I think this will put an exciting twist on the DCF traditions!
–Erica Poulos, Event and Development Coordinator
I look forward to meeting Kim and her many talents. I’m sure this will be a smooth transition for all of us even though Jan is leaving big shoes to fill. In my years at DCF I have learned that “change is good” from Jan herself. Welcome Kim – a great team has chosen you and we look forward to new ventures.
–Dona Curtis, Facility Manager, Becky Johnson Community Center
It’s been such a pleasure learning about Deschutes Children’s Foundation, and what Jan has accomplished in her years with the program. I look forward to getting to know Kim, and I am excited to hear her plans and ideas for the future of DCF! Welcome, Kim!
–Tracie Kirzy, Facility Manager, East Bend Campus
I am sad Jan is leaving, but I know she is going to enjoy her retirement. I will miss her very much. On the other hand, I am looking forward to the future with Kim at the forefront. I’m sure our future will be very bright and long-lasting. Welcome Kim!
–Sharon VanWormer, Facility Manager, La Pine Community Campus
Working with Jan has been an adventure and a privilege. Jan’s vision for the foundation has always been her driving force and she has brought the organization thru some exciting and challenging times. I wish her well as she faces new experiences. We’ll miss her much but rest assured she’s leaving us in good hands.
–Yvonne Dahl, Bookkeeper
