The PLSO Board of Directors is pleased to announce that it has hired Aimee McAuliffe of Associate Solutions Management LLC as its new Executive Secretary. She will work closely with the organization in its professional education and outreach efforts to ensure a vital future for the Oregon surveying industry.

McAuliffe has 10-years of experience in the non-profit management arena as full-time staff of the Oregon Association of Nurseries. During her tenure, she managed member programs, continuing education and events, including the Farwest Show – one of North America’s largest nursery trade shows. She is well versed in marketing and events in both non-profit and for-profit sectors.

Board Chair Lee Spurgeon said, "The ad hoc committee that reviewed our executive secretary’s contract was extremely impressed with McAuliffe’s qualifications, experience, intelligence, demeanor, enthusiasm, and vision." 

McAuliffe replaces Mary Louise Van Natta who is working on the transition through March. As reported in the March/April edition of Oregon Surveyor magazine, Van Natta has chosen to step down and pursue other professional goals in the communications and public relations field.
