Megan Mahoney

President  |  Multimedia and Graphic Designer, Northwest Regional ESD

(The president shall provide direction for the chapter and shall preside at meetings, maintain chapter systems, and provide accountability for chapter projects and activities. It is an expectation of the chapter president that after serving their term, they will transition into the role of past president for the incoming chapter president in the next election cycle.)

I joined OSPRA for the resources, but I stayed for the people. Not only will OSPRA members help you through a communications crisis, but they'll do so with kindness and empathy. You are never more than a phone call, text, or email away from someone who can help. I am honored to be part of such a solid network of intelligent, qualified, and compassionate people.

Gabe Storm

Vice President  |  Communication Lead Technical Specialist, North Clackamas Schools

(The vice president shall perform all duties of the president if the president is unable to act. While it is not an expectation, the vice president is strongly encouraged to run for president in the next election cycle to better maintain a transition of roles.)

Gabe joined the field of school communications in the fall of 2021, seeking a new professional direction following the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, when schools faced a critical need for enhanced communication. Prior to his role at North Clackamas Schools, Gabe spent 18 years owning and operating a marketing consulting and graphic design studio in Portland, Oregon. With nearly 30 years of experience in graphics and communications across diverse industries and organizations, Gabe now finds renewed purpose in supporting the students and families in his community.

I became a member of OSPRA on my first day working for a school district, and it has been an incredible resource ever since. As I navigated the complexities of school and district communications, OSPRA has provided invaluable support and inspiration. The collaborative community of professionals, all committed to transparency and mutual growth, has been essential to my development. I truly look forward to the networking opportunities and year-round professional development that OSPRA consistently offers.

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!

Chelsea Duncan

Treasurer  |  Communications Coordinator, Roseburg Public Schools

(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.)

Secretary  |  Communications Director, Jefferson County School District 509J

(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.)

OSPRA has been an invaluable resource since I started my career as a K-12 school communications professional. Prior to joining my school district, I was a TV news reporter with no real-world experience in public relations and not a whole lot of knowledge about how public education operates.

OSPRA has provided me with professional development opportunities that have allowed me to grow in my position and add more value to my school district.

I will never forget how I felt after attending my first OSPRA conference in Corvallis in 2022. I was surrounded by people that understood what I was going through in my role and there have been so many people who have offered advice, resources, and a helping hand whenever I’ve reached out. Now, I have made some great relationships with my fellow OSPRA members that I am so thankful for. OSPRA is a fantastic organization that brings members together to help each other.
