ATTENTION
This week, the Portland Observer is proud
to salute Mrs. Cathy Brown, Risk
M anager of H um an Resources for the
Port of Portland.
Bom in Burderop, England, (United
States Air Force a Base Hospital) in
1956, she resided in Oxon, England,
with her family, untl 1959. She spent
her formative years in northern
California and moved to Eugene,
Oregon in 1974. In 1976, she married
Mr. Ken Brown.
While Residing in Eugene, Cathy
worked for United Pacific Insurance
from 1975 to 1980. In October, 1980,
she gave birth to a son, Derek. "It was
the hardest work I had ever done, stay
ing home being a Mom," she recalls. "I
don't know how my mom raised seven
children. And Derek was a good baby.
I had a wonderful pregnancy, but it
was hard work taking care of some
one's needs full-time. After being home
Mrs. Cathy Brown
for about eight months, I wanted to go
Risk M anager - Hum an Resources
back to work."
In April, 1981, she went to work for the City of Eugene as a insurance claims m anager. From there, she
m oved into the position of assistant Risk manager. And in October, 1986, she assum ed the position of risk
m anager for Lane county.
Feeling the need to culturally connect with a larger ethnic comm unity, Cathy and Ken decided to move
to Portland. At the time, Cathy had applied for a job with the Port of Portland, and, in September, 1987, the
family m oved to Portland; residing in the Irvington N eighborhood. In the same month, she got the job as
risk m anager for the Port.
"I love to work. I like team work, and I love to turn out quality work," she said. "I adm ire the strength,
courage, and powerful presentation of Mrs. Barbara Jordan . I adm ire most profoundly the strength and
positive reinforcem ent of my m other. She alw ays told me to do your best and be the best at it. And then there
is my brother Tony, the o p tim ist... The realist."
