Nancy Raskauskas-Coons

Treasurer  |  Coordinator of Communications, Brookings-Harbor School District

(The treasurer shall keep records of funds, provide a financial statement to the Executive Committee or chapter membership upon request, and disburse chapter funds in accordance with the annual budget according to the bylaws. The Treasurer shall keep records and financial statements following the fiscal year established by NSPRA (September 1 – August 31). The treasurer shall serve a two-year term.)

I’ve attended OSPRA conferences and workshops since 2016 and am passionate about its amazing members who serve as mentors, confidants, teachers, and inspirational leaders, and who are always ready to be a support or sounding board.

Gregg Koskela

Secretary  |  Communications Director, Cascade School District

(The secretary shall keep minutes of all chapter meetings and shall distribute such minutes to each member of the Executive Committee. The secretary shall serve a two-year term.)

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.

Madeline Sattler

At-Large 1  |  Director of Marketing and Communications, French International School of Oregon

(At-Large Position 1 shall support the treasurer. It is an expectation of this position that they intend to run for the treasurer position in the next election cycle.)

OSPRA is an invaluable resource. I joined in 2019 when I was working in a one-person department. I was not feeling confident in what I was doing, and I had lost my creative spark to come up with new ideas. Joining OSPRA gave me the validation that I can do this job and reinvigorated my passion for storytelling in education. Then, the pandemic hit, and the world was wild. The networking, swapping of resources, and frankly the heads-up that OSPRA members gave each other helped get me through those crazy times. I have met some incredible people through this organization, people who will drop what they’re doing to help me with an issue. I joined the board to continue fostering my connections within OSPRA and to play a small part in an organization that has changed my life.

Jen Young

At-Large 2  |  Graphic Designer, Willamette ESD

(At-Large Position 2 shall maintain and uphold the chapter’s brand identity, including but not limited to marketing materials and correspondence.)

I joined OSPRA in 2020. I was new to the education world, and it was a game-changer. I found a supportive community that truly understands the daily challenges of my job, a wealth of resources, a low-pressure networking scene, and real-life examples at my fingertips. Everyone in OSPRA is incredibly generous with their time and advice. Whether you're new to school PR or a seasoned pro, OSPRA is the best place to make connections, gain understanding, and access helpful resources – it's a decision you won't regret on your educational journey!
