Treasurer
Member at Large
After more than 20 years as a member of ORID, I figure the time has come to stop being on the fringes and to give back to the organization, to meet my peers and colleagues and broaden my professional horizons. I think I will be an asset to the board, with my vibrant personality, incisive wit and insight born of my 64 years of life experience.
I graduated the ITP at PCC in 1990 and served the obligatory 8 years in the educational setting (K-12 and post-secondary). After receiving my CI and CT certifications in 1998, I worked the next 6 years freelancing in Seattle and then Portland areas. Since 2004 I have worked primarily in Video Relay. I am looking forward to serving with the board for the next two years! Judi Webb, CI, CT
