The Harbor searches
for a new director
Turnout high in midterms,
ballots due 8 p.m. Tuesday
2014, according to the Sec-
retary of State’s office. The
statewide turnout for this
year’s midterms has even
approached that of the 2012
presidential election, when
899,715 ballots were cast
statewide. Along with strong
turnout, the increased bal-
lot returns are also driven by
population growth.
“It is fantastic that over
881,128 Oregonians have
already turned in their bal-
lots,” Secretary of State
Dennis Richardson said in a
news release. “I encourage
all eligible voters to return
your ballot to an official drop
box soon. Your community
needs your voice.”

Voter turnout in Tues-
day’s election had sur-
passed 40 percent by Friday,
with more than 11,403 bal-
lots coming in from Clatsop
County’s 27,941 registered
voters.
Ballots are due by 8 p.m.
Tuesday and can no longer
be mailed in.
Ballot drop sites include
the County Clerk’s office at
820 Exchange St. in Astoria,
a 24-hour drop box outside,

Pringle steps
down for
family reasons
By EDWARD STRATTON
The Daily Astorian
The Harbor, the regional
advocacy group for victims of
sexual and domestic violence,
is looking for a new executive
director.
Molly
Pringle,
who
joined the agency in January,
announced in late October that
she is leaving because of unex-
pected family circumstances.
Her last day will be Dec. 21.
“Though there is never a
good time to depart, I made the
difficult decision to hand off
leadership now because The
Harbor has grown so much in
2018 and is in a promising posi-
tion to emerge from this transi-
tion with positive momentum,”
she said. “In fact, I am on good
terms with The Harbor and will
continue supporting our devel-
opment and fundraising as we
seek new leadership.”
Pringle is the fourth direc-
tor since Pat Burness retired
in 2012 after 20 years with the
organization. Her successor,
Julie Soderberg, left without
explanation in 2015. Melissa
Van Horn started in early 2016
but left without explanation after
several months. Sue Farmer, a
former board member, served
as an interim executive director
until Pringle was hired.

Molly Pringle is stepping
down as executive director
of The Harbor.
Much of her work since
joining The Harbor has been
to figure out, fine-tune and
build on what works with the
organization, Pringle said. The
agency recently received a
government grant to place vic-
tim’s advocates in health care
settings, and another from the
Meyer Memorial Trust to ask
marginalized social groups
what they would like to see
from The Harbor, she said.
The Harbor receives about
60 percent of its funding from
government grants, along
with 20 percent from founda-
tions and the rest from private
donors, Pringle said. Many
of the grants require local
matches. The next big push
for the organization is a winter
fundraising campaign seeking
monthly donations to help pro-
vide more reliable local fund-
ing to help leverage grants, she
said.
The Harbor has made other
recent moves to stabilize fund-
ing and focus on core services.
It closed the unprofitable
Deja Vu thrift store down-
town and scrapped an expen-
sive remodel of the Van Dusen
Building into a new head-
quarters. The agency instead
sold the Van Dusen Building
to coworking group Astoria
Maker Industries and is rent-
ing office space in the former
Snow & Snow law firm.
Pringle is well-regarded by
the community and by The Har-
bor’s staff, said Mindy Stokes,
chairwoman of the group’s
board. “Losing her is a loss to
the community,” she said.
Her job has been posted
with regional sexual and
domestic violence organiza-
tions and will remain open
until filled. A hiring commit-
tee of two staffers, two board
members and a representa-
tive from the community will
choose Pringle’s replacement.
The Harbor is looking for
someone who has experience
related to sexual and domes-
tic violence issues, along with
a knowledge of nonprofits, bud-
gets and writing grants, Stokes
said.
“We really want some-
one who can partner well with
leaders in the community, law
enforcement, health care, the
Lower Columbia Hispanic
Council, that kind of stuff,”
she said.
