After serving six months as AOR’s Membership Chair, Holly Stirnkorb announced at our December meeting that she would stepping down at the end of the month. Holly works for the Oregon DEQ and her dedication to her work forced a difficult decision to resign from the Board. During her time on the Board, Holly was instrumental in developing a new membership outreach plan and her input and smiling face will be missed from the Board.

At AOR's January Board Meeting, the Board unanimously appointed Josy Wright from Waste Connections to fill the Membership Chair position. Josy has been involved with the AOR community and the conference planning committee for many years, and she is ready to pick up the membership work where Holly left off.

​Josy Wright is the Education Department Manager for Waste Connections of Washington. Since 1999 Josy has worked in the environmental services industry throughout the greater Portland/Vancouver area focusing on waste reduction and education for commercial and residential customers. Josy is also a Master Recycler and has a Master's degree in Public Administration from Portland State University. Josy has two children, Eliot and Hazel, that are the main focus of almost everything she does.
