Weekly Wrap-up

Vickie Staffelbach

Vickie Staffelbach began work this week as the new executive assistant to the president and the Board of Education, replacing Renee Windsor-White who retired at the end of June. Vickie has more than 20 years experience in public administration and management, with 19 years in higher education. Her previous position was as office manager and administrative assistant to the Linn County district attorney. Prior to that, Vickie worked as a health plan regulatory coordinator, as director of administration in the college of pharmacy at OSU, and in various administrative and office management positions at the University of Oregon. Vickie has a master’s degree in public administrative management and public affairs, and a bachelor’s degree in management and marketing, both from the University of Oregon. She also has an associate’s degree in business management from Lane Community College. Vickie's community involvement includes serving as an interviewer for the Linn County Youth Job Fair; volunteering with the Big Brother/Big Sister program, the Governor’s Food Drive and other civic volunteer projects; assisting at various events including Relay for Life, Lane Memorial Blood Bank, and Corvallis Historic Auto Club; and serving as a Spanish interpreter. She is a native Oregonian from Eugene, and currently resides in Harrisburg. Outside of work, Vickie enjoys spending time with her "babies" - three dogs and five cats, and loves the peaceful Oregon coast. One of the most interesting trips she has taken was to Europe, where she visited eight countries. She says that trip changed her sense of place and made her thankful to live in the U.S. She says she also felt that way after seeing the poverty in Cabo San Lucas. Vickie has two brothers and two sisters, several rescued fish and a tortoise she found walking along Hwy 99. Please stop by and welcome Vickie to LBCC!
