Sport Oregon Announces 24-Member Board of Directors

Sport Oregon has announced its full slate of officers and executive board of directors for the upcoming year.

The 24-person executive board is led by four elected officers, including president Chris Oxley (Adaptive Strategies), vice president Charles Leverton (Multnomah Athletic Club), treasurer Dave Evans (Moda Health) and secretary China Kirk (USTA Pacific Northwest).

A long-serving member of the Sport Oregon board and now its president, Oxley is owner and principal of Adaptive Strategies, a consultant services company providing advisory in sports, live events and venue development. Oxley’s career in sports and entertainment has spanned nearly three decades.

“We are proud to welcome such accomplished and visionary leaders to our outstanding board of directors,” said Oxley. “Their diverse expertise and unwavering commitment to sport will strengthen our organization and help drive our mission forward.”

Over the past five years, Sport Oregon’s combined board has tripled in size. In total, Sport Oregon has more than 140 members between its executive board and investor board. The Sport Oregon Young Professionals board now includes more than 70 leaders in the area.

“The board is critical to our success as an organization, and we are very excited to welcome this year’s officer slate and executive board to lead the way as we continue delivering community impact for our state,” said Jim Etzel, chief executive officer of Sport Oregon. “We are proud to have such a quality, diverse group of engaged local leaders committed to helping us advance our mission and achieve our goals. Together, we will continue to grow Sport Oregon as a truly statewide organization of influence and impact, build a sustainable model for our Foundation, and champion the facility infrastructure needed to keep Oregon competitive.”
