Elected and Appointed Emerge Oregon Women

Jennifer Geller's motivation to serve in elected office is found in her belief that the health of Oregon's future depends on our ability to provide excellent educational opportunities for all students. Elected to the Eugene School Board in 2009, Jennifer - an active community volunteer and mother of two daughters - brings a rich background to the table. Originally an education attorney in the Washington State Attorney General's Office, Jennifer returned to her home state of Oregon where she has spent countless hours as a citizen advocate with Stand for Children.

Growing up in the Tigard area, Sheri Moore recalls warm summer days picking strawberries or working in her Mom's small cafe. Other job and life experiences carried her through both her Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the University of Oregon, before settling into a 25-year career as an elementary school teacher. Newly "retired", Sheri serves as both Springfield Planning Commissioner and Lane County Master Gardener, hosts international college students, and teaches half-time. Weekends find her actively involved with her church and other volunteer endeavors.
