“Fariborz Pakseresht has provided innovative leadership to Oregon for over 20 years,” Opperman said. “He is a former director of Oregon Youth Authority and currently director of Oregon Department of Human Services. Fariborz brings patience, grace and wisdom in leading services that improve the lives of vulnerable Oregonians. He partners with providers like Looking Glass to save lives every day.”
As this was Craig’s last Annual Meeting before he retires next year, the Board recognized his many years of dedicated service and leadership of Looking Glass. He was presented with a plaque and some very poignant comments from longtime board member, Scott Williams, of Hamilton Construction.
