A Note from Christy Maciel
NAMI Oregon Board Representative

If any members have concerns or topics they would like me to present at the NAMI State Board meetings, please let me know.  During my first year on the Board, I have observed that the great majority of what is discussed, has to do with the Portland and surrounding areas and Board Operations, and very little that is specific to the Eastern side of the Cascades.  I would like to change that and have our voice better represented.
