Other Activities

Years of working on a variety of committees and work groups, Cathy has developed an awareness of the issues facing the City of Beaverton. Crime and gangs, traffic and transportation, managing area growth and livability, maintaining the city’s infrastructure, a viable business community, school siting and funding, and intergovernmental cooperation are just a few of the continuing challenges facing our communities. Cathy believes that these challenges, along with shrinking government dollars, create a need for all of us to work together, work decisively, and work cost effectively to identify and implement the strategies that will resolve these issues in our community. Cathy is committed to cooperation, consensus and finding solutions.
