Eecutive Board

Okanogan Democrats Executive Board

KATIE HAVEN - CHAIR

I live on a small sheep ranch in the lower Methow Valley. I grew up discussing politics around the dinner table, and accompanied my parents to the voting booth as soon as I could walk. My goal in this position is to help citizens stay aware of opportunities to participate in working towards a "more perfect Union". While national politics get the headlines and the glamour, I have learned that it all starts with friends and neighbors getting together to talk about issues. I aim to make it interesting and fun!

BILL KRESGE - VICE CHAIR (2020-2022)

Bill's photo and bio are coming soon!

C'ANN KARIORES - STATE COMMITTEE MEMBER

I am an enrolled member of the Colville Confederated Tribes and live on the reservation side of Omak, Washington. I graduated from North Yarmouth Academy in Yarmouth, Maine, hold a BA in Government from Eastern Washington University, and am currently a candidate for an Associate of Technology Studies (ATS) in Chemical Dependency Studies from Wenatchee Valley College. I expect to graduate in June 2023.
After working 50 years (half blue color and half white collar), I retired in 2020 to pursue a second degree to become a substance use disorder professional. Instead of sitting, reading, and talking about the substance use disorders affecting our communities, I decided to step up and get the education to become part of the solution to provide counseling to those suffering and needing help to arrest their addictions. Apparently, my body and mind think I will be able to work another decade!

NANCY AADLAND, SECRETARY

I was born and raised in Washington State, had a career that took me all over the country, and retired early to live and travel on a sailboat for several years before moving to the Methow Valley in 2018. A graduate of Western Washington University with degrees in accounting and business administration, I was a Certified Public Accountant and an adjunct college instructor. After earning my Airline Transport Pilot and Flight Instructor ratings, I changed careers and eventually went to work for the Federal Aviation Administration where I retired as Manager of the Air Transportation Oversight Office in Washington DC. Prior to the 2020 election, I thought that I'd fulfilled my civic duty simply by voting in each election. I now feel an obligation to do everything within my power to help preserve our democracy.
