Lynda Demsher
Secretary

Lynda Demsher has a long history with Josephine County even though she's only lived in the area for about 12 years. Her family came here during the Depression to pick fruit and kept from starving by catching salmon out of the Rogue River. They wanted to stay but ended up following the crops to California. Some family members eventually made it back to Southern Oregon and lived in the Medford, Roseburg and Grants Pass areas so she spent a lot of time visiting before finally becoming a resident herself. Lynda, who graduated from Dunsmuir High School and CSU Chico, retired after teaching at the high school level in Shasta and Modoc counties in Northern California after an earlier career reporting the news for a Redding radio station, newspapers in Shasta and Tehama counties, as well as news from the area for the Sacramento Bee. 

Dorothy Yetter
Logistics

Dorothy built a long and accomplished career in project management, computer programming, and systems design, working across both government and financial sectors. After retiring, she moved to Josephine County to focus on interests and community service she previously had little time to pursue.

Since then, she has volunteered as a Master Gardener, a Medicare Counselor, and a long-term care Ombudsman. She currently also volunteers with the local Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, continuing her commitment to helping others in her community.
