Marilyn McDole brings numerous skills to the Oregon School Board table. As a former teacher, she has many years of experience in K-12 and tech college education. As a former financial specialist at the UW, she has educational budget development and analysis experience. Her Six Sigma training in problem solving gives her outstanding organizing and troubleshooting abilities. But all of this tells only what she can do, not who she is.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Marilyn on some recent projects. I have found her to be a genuine, hard-working, affable person. Now that she is retired, she is eager to give back to her community in a way that uses her myriad abilities. I’ve seen her interact with people who both agree and disagree with her. She is always able to find common ground in an atmosphere of mutual respect. She has my respect and my vote on April 7.
