in We are proud to share some exciting news from our organization.

This week, Debi Brazelton, our Chief Human Resources Officer, was honored with the Oregon Human Resources Administrator of the Year Award—a well-deserved recognition of her outstanding leadership and impact. The award was presented on April 28 by the Oregon School Personnel Association (OSPA) at their annual conference in Portland.

Those who have the privilege of working alongside Debi know just how meaningful this achievement is. Her work consistently reflects a deep commitment to public education and to the people who make it possible. She has a unique ability to navigate change with intention, approach challenges with creativity, and lead with both respect and a genuine sense of humor.

Debi’s leadership goes beyond policies and procedures. She uplifts individuals, fosters a supportive workplace culture, and ensures that people remain at the heart of everything we do.

Please join us in congratulating Debi and thanking her for her thoughtfulness, steady presence, and the care she brings to our organization every day.
