Wednesday, May 22, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon C O M M U N I T 3 Y Sisters Trails Alliance hires program manager Thanks to a grant from the Robert W. Chandler Discretionary Subfund of The Oregon Community Foundation, Sisters Trails Alliance (STA) now has a paid staff member to support the work of the organization: Karen Isberg. Isberg was born and raised in Colorado and moved to Maui, Hawaii, where she and her husband, Greg, raised their family. On Maui, Karen taught school for 14 years, helped manage their woodworking business and spent 30 years serving on equestrian and educational nonprofit boards. A little over four years ago Karen and Greg decided to relocate back to the mainland and Greg suggested the com- munity of Sisters. As avid lov- ers of the outdoors this area is a perfect fit for them. Isberg9s experience in nonprofit work has given her a solid foundation in fund- raising, volunteer manage- ment and event planning and execution.
