Board Members

	Art McGhehey, President. Art is a State Farm Insurance Agent. He says that "NEDCO’s focus on both economic development and home ownership help to create strong neighborhoods that are vital to the long-term livability of our community. But it is especially the impact NEDCO has helping individual families achieve their dreams that has a personal impact on me."
	Debbie Hinderlie, Vice President. Debbie is the Executive Administrative Assistant & Officer, Note Department Supervisor at Pacific Continental Bank. She is part of NEDCO’s board “because I have experienced a neighborhood NEDCO has developed first hand…it’s been a very positive experience in my life, and I want to be a part of that experience for other people.”
	Jon Stafford, Secretary. Jon is a local architect who has learned through his involvement with NEDCO that “having one’s efforts validated by seeing those efforts empower people and make their lives better is immensely satisfying.”
	John Adkisson, Treasurer. John is a CPA, and says that "homeownership is the foundation of a strong community, and NEDCO is helping build that foundation. Anything I can do to help NEDCO achieve their goals, and help their constituents achieve their goals, is worthwhile."
	Melva Boles is a teacher at Sheldon High School in Eugene. She likes the fact that NEDCO is project based rather than process based and has been able to complete an impressive number of projects and built an organization that is healthy, viable, stable and that benefits many people.
	Al Coddington is a local builder/general contractor who is on the board because “I want to feel that in some way I am making a contribution to creating a better society…there are a lot of hard working people out there who with just the little help we can lend them can make major improvements in their lives.”

	Molly Markarian is a Planner II at the City of Springfield. As a former NEDCO employee, she has experienced first hand the impact that NEDCO’s work has on the lives of individuals, families, and the community at large.
