TRIBAL MEMBER NEWS Medley Opens Motorsports Shop in Phoenix Lisa Norton presents a check to Divona Christiansen. Childhood Drawings Help Christiansen Open Own Business Divona Christiansen has opened DMC Drafting Services with the help of a loan from the Business Loan Program through the Business Information Center. Divona’s business is based in Lebanon, Ore. She does technical drawings of mills to keep them up to date and safe. Electricians then use her drawings to wire a new or rewire an existing building and set up the entire electrical system. She currently is on contract with Weyerhaeuser in Albany. Divona has been in the drafting business for 15 years. “I always liked drawing as a child, but with freehand (drawing), you starve until you die, then become famous,” she said. ‘‘I didn’t want to go that route.” She took a drafting class in the eighth grade, liked it, and a career was born. She’s available to work in a variety - paper, metals, or wood - of manufacturing mills statewide. She does on-site and off-site contracting. ‘‘People should give me a call because it’s more direct and you get personal contact,” Divona said. “It’s just me. There’s no chain of command or red tape to go through.” Divona started her business after completing the 11-week “Starting a Successful Business” course presented by ONABEN. She highly recommends it for anyone who is thinking about starting a business. DMC Drafting Services is available at 541 -258-6476 (evenings are best) or divona@proaxis.com.
