KAETI NAMBA

*Emeritus Director

Kaeti was passionate and successful in developing resources for communities and groups she could identify with. Communication was at the root of her success; building relationships, engaging stakeholders, and collaborating with others. Through the use of digital and print media, she was able to strategically plan and project manage websites, social media expansion, brand development, and digital fundraising.

Kaeti served as a board member for the Oregon Nikkei Endowment (preserving Japanese history and culture). She also enjoyed volunteering on the Public Involvement Advisory Council (PIAC) for the City of Portland’s Office of Neighborhood Involvement. Kaeti was also a member of the Portland Business Alliance’s Leadership Portland 2015 Cohort and a BB2S coach/mentor for both FLL Challenge and Explore teams. Her passion for giving back to her community showed in her hard work and involvement in many different activities.

*Kaeti passed away in July 2020 from a battle with cancer and will always be a member of our BB2S family.
