Past President Natalie Hurd, Communications and Community Engagement Director, Medford School District Natalie has been in School PR since 2014, growing her department from a one-person-shop to a department of eight amazing humans working on communications, community & family engagement, and equity in the Medford School District. She loves serving the students and families of Medford, where her own two children (Aria, 7 and Rafi, 3) attend school. Natalie is one of many School PR Pros who started her career as a broadcast journalist, and since transitioning to School PR, has never looked back! | President Megan Mahoney, Willamette ESD Bio TBA | Vice President Gabe Storm, North Clackamas Bio TBA |
Treasurer Nancy Raskauskas-Coons, Brookings-Harbor School District, Nancy is the Coordinator of Communications for BHSD on the southern Oregon Coast. Her background includes previous work as a newspaper journalist, university marketing specialist, nonprofit/foundation communications manager, and independent contractor for schools, photography, and video clients. Nancy has attended OSPRA conferences and workshops since 2016 and is passionate about its amazing members who serve as mentors, confidants, teachers, and inspirational leaders, and who are always ready to be a support group in times of crisis in the K12 educational world. | Secretary Gregg Koskela, Cascade School District Prior to starting as Director of Communications at Cascade in September of 2022, Gregg served in a variety of positions at Newberg School District, including Communications Coordinator, since August of 2017. After completing a bachelors in Sociology/Social Work from George Fox University, and a M.Div. with an emphasis in communications at Fuller Theological Seminary, Gregg served for several decades as pastor of several churches, most recently in Newberg. Needing a career change, he was drawn to the mission of public schools and the desire to support that mission by telling the good stories of what is happening in education. That desire has grown, and it is even more needed than ever before. He loves collaborative relationships, finding simple language that all can understand, and encouraging the hard-working staff of our K-12 schools. |

This year she is looking forward to more in-person events that allow our families and community to come together! |
