Marianne Brams
Board Treasurer
Marianne Brams moved to Fairway Village when she retired from Perkins & Company (a large local CPA firm) in June, 2018. Her early accounting experience included audits of publicly held companies, SEC reporting, and financial management as the CFO of a small, publicly held REIT. She graduated from Lewis and Clark Law School in 1994 and practiced law for three years with Kell, Alterman & Runstein, before rejoining the professional accounting world as a specialist in financial and tax planning and compliance for high wealth individuals, estates, and trusts.
Community involvement has always been an important value for Marianne. She served on the Board and as Chair of the Oregon Society of CPAs and on the Board and as Chair of her previous HOA (a downtown complex of three high-rise condominium towers, several levels of underground parking, and extensive common areas). Since moving to Fairway Village, she has served as Chair of the Finance Committee, dealing with a broad range of issues, including interviewing and selecting a new accounting firm, extensive revisions to the Accounting Policy, and several issues related to cash management and reporting under new accounting rules.
Marianne loves living in Fairway Village for its wonderful amenities and ambiance, low, low HOA fees, and the sense of community. She says “I know that a primary reason we are able to enjoy all of these things is the tremendous amount of energy, talent, and just plain hard work contributed by our many volunteers. I recognize that leadership simply cannot please all of the people all of the time, but believe in asking questions, listening carefully, and being willing to compromise. I believe that process allows leadership to identify and implement policies and procedures that will provide the greatest good to our community as a whole. I would like to assist in that process.”
Joanne Olson
Board Director
My husband and I moved to Fairway Village in 2011, from Milwaukie, OR, where we had lived for 40 years. We had our daughter to thank for finding FV for us. Our daughter and her family live in Camas, and our son in North Portland. It is now so much easier to support each other.
I have a bachelor’s degree in nursing and worked 35 years in multiple nursing roles. I provided direct patient care for five years, then moved to management. My management roles consisted of budget preparation, developing policies and procedures, and problem resolution for patients, doctors, families, and fellow managers. I volunteered on the Fairway Village Board of Directors for 6 years, the last two years as Board President. Board duties included approving variance requests, addressing resident concerns, approving Committee members, ensuring adherence to the governing documents, etc. There are challenges ahead impacting FV’s ability to manage our budget and maintain the marketability and quality of our community and retain our home values. I would like to help address these future challenges.
