Community Happenings: 4 e sc e n tia l 4 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." C h ristm as Feeding for the Homeless.
