Colette Ramirez: Treasurer

Community Events Manager, City of Eugene

Colette has called Eugene home for the last decade. She originally arrived in Eugene to complete her last term of school as a Recreation Administration out-of-state intern of California State University of Fresno. She completed her internship with the City of Eugene River House Outdoor Program and was hooked on Eugene! She spent the next few years being the proverbial outdoor bum, skiing in the winter and raft guiding in the summer until a full-time position at the River House Outdoor Program carried her to the next chapter of her professional career. She spent five years as a Recreation Program Assistant coordinating outdoor programs such as, rock climbing, rafting, snowboarding, skateboarding, bike safety education for partner organizations and youth in our community. She loved sharing her passion for the outdoors. She found some of her most fulfilling work to be with organizations that supported people with developmental and/or physical disabilities. She now holds the position as the Community Events Manager for the City of Eugene and oversees the EUGfun event series that provides opportunities for community members to connect, create, and be entertained throughout our beautiful city. In her free time she can be found playing outside or dancing with a variety of performance troupes around town. Her specialty is ethnic and percussive based dance forms.
