The James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation is pleased to announce the hiring of our new Executive Assistant.
Emily Barrett will coordinate our office operations, meetings, and communications, while supporting the work of staff and board members.
More about Emily:
Emily adopted Oregon as her home state over 20 years ago, after growing up and being educated in New York and Montana. With roots in the city and the country, she's an avid home baker, a fan of stand-up comedy, an incorrigible political junkie, and a regular volunteer at Hopewell House.
Her career as an executive assistant and program manager has spanned industries: from a small environmental nonprofit operating in Latin America to the Portland-based staff of U.S. Congressman Earl Blumenauer, then supporting CEO Sam Blackman of Elemental Technologies through the company's acquisition by Amazon. After nearly a decade in the front offices of a few Vice Presidents and Senior Vice Presidents at AWS, Emily was thrilled to joined Miller Foundation in 2024. On weekends, you'll find her with her young family, often enjoying one of Portland's wonderful parks.
