Our Board.

Ann Harris

My family and I came to Hood River 28 years ago. Like many, we were drawn here by the incredibly beautiful natural surroundings. I retired from a career in social services and education, having worked at The Next Door, Inc., Columbia Gorge Community College and Oregon State University Extension. I enjoy being an engaged community member and serve on the boards of The Next Door, Inc. and Gorge Ecumenical Ministries. I am a co-founder of BIG.
