In these difficult times “we” brothers and sisters are faced with many challenges, I Deanna Boylan am asking for your vote as Board Director of Region 3 Coos, Curry, Douglas, and Josephine counties. Members who have worked with me over the years can attest to both my passion and involvement in policy issues, advocacy, and collaboration at the local and state level. My experience includes serving as Assistant Director of Human Services Coalition DAS, Local 200 Officer, sub local 206 chair, as SEIU chief steward, on the local and statewide labor management committees, active lobby day member, as a bargaining delegate and general counsel delegate. I have gained insight and a deep understanding of the many challenges and opportunities union members and fellow DHS/OHA coworkers grapple with on an ongoing basis. Moreover, I believe that in order for our membership to remain relevant and vital, we must publicly engage; so that we are “at the table,” heard, and understood. We have to effectively tell the stories of our members and the people we serve, addressing issues and meeting outcomes. If elected as the Director of Region 3 Coos, Curry, Douglas, and Josephine counties. I promise to bring a deep commitment to listen to members and bring forward their ideas and concerns. I will partner with others to build strong alliances contributing to the work to help us reach planned outcomes. I promise to keep us on track through communications as we move forward to build a vibrant and effective voice.
