Next Step PRC Directors
Vonda B, Executive Director
Vonda joined Next Step PRC as both a board member and as Executive Director in the fall of 2018 after moving to La Grande with her husband. Vonda is passionate about seeing lives changed by serving, equipping, and encouraging Next Step clients. In her spare time Vonda enjoys spending time with family and friends, beautifying her home and yard, working on woodworking crafts, and cozying up by the fireplace with a good book!
Merri Lee W, Director of Client Services
Merri answered the call to join Next Step in 2020, because of our annual Baby Bottle Boomerang fundraiser. She is a client advocate, a co-member of the Post Abortion Healing team and Director of Client Services. She loves the warmth and love that is felt within the Next Step team. Merri likes to sew and work in her yard. She loves spending time with her family and especially enjoys her grand kids, Ella and Grant. Her home is often the meeting place of extended family and friends.
Saty C, Director of Development
Saty joined the Next Step family in Spring of 2022 as a board member, and almost exactly a year later, she became Director of Development. She loves writing and design, and is excited about using these passions within the Next Step mission. Saty grew up in a family who fostered many children, and wrote a novel based on the true stories of kids she knew. She loves to travel, spends lots of time outside with her husband and young son, and enjoys fixing up old houses with her family.
