WELCOMING OUR NEW FINANCE DIRECTOR

---

​

We’re thrilled to introduce you to our new Finance Director, Jerry Hoffert!
 
As you may know, Esther Large, who served as UCP’s Finance Director for 20+ years, is retiring in December of 2023. Also retiring is Janet Fromdahl, who has been UCP’s Payroll/Accounts Payable Clerk since 2013. We'll be sharing more about Esther and Janet's time at UCP in a future post.

UCP Oregon conducted a thorough and competitive recruitment process to fill the Finance Director position.

Jerry brings 20+ years of strategic leadership experience in non-profit finance and grant financial management. He also has a Master of Business Administration from George Fox University, with a focus on management and leadership.
 
Some of Jerry’s experience includes:

• Chief Financial and Grants Officer (National Association for the Dually Diagnosed).
• Chief Financial Officer (Native American Rehabilitation Association of the Northwest, Inc.).
• Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer (Albertina Kerr Centers).
• Assistant Controller (Morrison Child and Family Services).

 
Some of you may already know Jerry; he is the former President of UCP Oregon’s Board of Directors. Jerry has also served on the board of Family Promise of Metro East.
 
Jerry began in his new position in early October, and will have several months of overlap with Esther and Janet. He is currently settling into his new position, and is also leading the hiring process for hiring a new Payroll/Accounts Payable Clerk.
                                      
Congratulations, Jerry! We’re excited to work with you in your new capacity at UCP.
