Meet Our 2025-2026 Board
Board members are elected for a one year term.
President
Helen Slack Miller
A 4th generation Coquille native, lifelong swimmer, member of US Masters Swimming and long distance open water enthusiast, I swim laps nearly daily during the off season.
I have a background in accounting and business management and founded a marketing support in Portland.
Vice President
Borel Clark
Secretary
Jeri Hauth
I volunteer my time because I believe in giving back and want to contribute to the wellbeing of the citizens of Bandon. I believe my skills are a good fit for the communications and fundraising events planned to launch the pool. With over 25 years of marketing and business development experience for a variety of industries. I’ve worked at companies from startups to top 10 corporations including General Electric and Hewlett-Packard. The pool will be an integral part of the Bandon area for years to come and I want to have a role in helping make that happen.
Treasurer
Colleen Welch
A former youth group swimmer in my hometown of Spokane, WA, I earned money for college by lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons. As an adult, I’ve competed in triathlons and participated in masters swimming. I currently swim for fitness at North Bend High School, and would love to be able to do that here in Bandon and save the drive time.
A retired IBM SW engineer, I moved to Bandon in 2015 and joined the board as Secretary in 2019 and Treasurer in 2021. I also serve as the webmaster.
Member At Large
Sharon Foley
Born in Coquille and raised in Roseburg, I learned to swim in the Umpqua River at age 5 and never left the water behind. A lifelong athlete, I competed in high school, college and US Masters swimming all the way to the World level. I have served as a lifeguard, instructor, coach, and USA Swimming official and competed in multi-disciplinary sports including triathlon, decathlon and Olympic pentathlon.
My 25 year career in Corporate Wellness took me to Portland and the mid Atlantic region, where I championed health and movement for diverse communities. An avid rower and rafter, I believe deeply in the power of aquatic environments — supporting safety, fitness, therapy and community across every stage of life.
