| Introduction | Who is…GAYLE SLADE At this stage in my life and career, alignment with purpose, integrity, and positive impact is not simply important to me—it is essential. My strong interest in joining an organization whose mission is rooted in giving back to society and strengthening communities is what I seeking to be a part of. . I spent many years building a successful career in the real estate industry, where I developed strong skills in relationship-building, landlord/tenantrelations, problem-solving, organization, and stewardship of both people and resources. In 2013 I created a business in Sydney, Australia providing global travelers attending conventions, a comfortable contemporary space. This gave me an incredible opportunity to meet people from all over the world. In 2019 I created a business offering luxurious, sophisticated units to employees of large corporations in “The Pearl District" of Portland, OR. While that work was fulfilling and rewarding, my life took a meaningful turn when I became the full-time caregiver for my mother, a role I held for five years. That experience reshaped my perspective, deepened my compassion, and sense of respect for elders and those less fortunate. |
