New Program Director Selected for OASC

Come September, you will notice a new face directing the many workshops, camps, and conferences that OASC offers.  After 21 years, Nancy Moen will be retiring as Program Director, and Sara Nilles, teacher at Mt. View Middle School in Newberg, will be taking over the reins. Sara was one of several highly qualified applicants for the position.  Members of the OASC Executive Board, including State President, Kyle Warren, served as the interview and selection committee.

Sara should be a familiar face to many students and advisors; after all, she is an OASC alumnus.  Her OASC journey began in middle school, when she attended the middle school leadership camp.  She continued on in high school, attending camp, national conference, and serving on the Student Executive Council.  As a high school student, she was co-chair of Kids Making Miracles for Doernbecher, helping to raise more than 1.5 million dollars to help critically ill children.   After attending college in Montana, Sara taught in Japan for a year, then returned to Oregon, where she has been teaching since 2002. 

Since that time, she’s been fully involved in all aspects of OASC.  She has been a high school camp staff member, OASC Board member and Chair, and has been on staff for the Winter Energizer since its inception three years ago.  She developed a leadership class and program at her school, which, up to that time, had not had one.  Over the past two years, she and her students have also created an award-winning yearbook. 

Retiring director, Nancy Moen, reflects, “OASC has not just been my job, but my passion for 21 years.  Sara not only matches that passion, she brings numerous skills to the job, as well.  I am confident that she will take the association to new heights.  Both students and advisors will love working with her.”
