LYNN WILLIAMS

Vice President

Lynn Williams and her husband, Dick, have lived in Fairway Village since 2014.  They moved from Juneau, Alaska (55+years) to be near their daughter and her family.  Being a military brat, she had the opportunity to live in several different places, including a year in Japan.  Her education includes a BED in Education from the University of Alaska Fairbanks with 100+ credits.

Brams, Marianne.jpg

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.”

Olson, Joanne.jpg

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.

Burrill, Donna candidate pic - Copy.jpg

Donna Burrill

Board Director

and her husband Doug moved to Fairway Village in November 2019. They were immediately impressed with the friendliness of their neighbors. They got involved with several groups right away while Covid 19 was starting to rear its ugly head. They had their pod to play cards with and socialize while they were in lockdown.

Donna likes to sew, garden, play cards, read, and interact with diverse groups. If you want to see Doug, he is out on the golf course somewhere.

Donna went to Western Business School for bookkeeping and had some college courses in computers to help with her job. She was a bookkeeper for the St. Elizabeth Foundation for 7 years. She worked for Providence Medical Center in Yakima, Washington for 25 years managing the Lifeline Program (an emergency response system for the elderly).

Donna served as Secretary, Treasurer and Vice President for Indian Hills Condominiums, which had 107 units from 2005-2016. She facilitates the Women's Book Club and is also the Treasurer/Secretary for Fairway Village Travel Club.

Donna feels our board gives selflessly to our community, and that Fairway Village needs the structure to ensure our community stays viable and beautiful. If someone doesn't step up to do this vital work who knows how the community will prosper.
