Lucy Baker is a Administrator at Oregon Advocacy Commissions Office. She possess expertise in policy, program development, team leadership, budgets, leadership and 32 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "Lucy Baker is a gifted and visionary administrator. My experience working with her on the Oregon Commission on Black Affairs confirms my opinion that she is both a “turnaround” artist — completely erasing an organizational slide toward disaster — and a leader. Her leadership of that organization has given it a new purpose and organizational structure based upon data driven policy and research. She has taken the organization from its nadir threatening it’s credibility and existence, to establishing this organization as a respected legislative partner. As I have listened to Ms. Baker in a variety of situations including legislative testimony, public meetings, and personal interactions I am often inspired by her patient, supportive, firm and respectful manner of engaging others. She is budget wizard, consistently thorough. " and "Lucy and I serviced on the NWEEO Association board together for over 5 years. In that time, I had the pleasure of working directly with her on board committees and coordinating programs. Lucy enriched the association with her passion and wealth of knowledge with regard to diversity and civil rights topics, particularly related to individuals with disabilities. She is well-connected within the Portland community and a tireless advocate for EEO issues. She has the ability to diplomatically articulate complicated issues while working toward group consensus on focus and direction. I highly recommend Lucy and would jump at the opportunity to work with her again. Her compassion and enthusiasm will be missed!"
