DEQ’s Carol Thornberg is a true champion of the agency’s values, such as public service, employee growth, teamwork, and excellence. As the volunteer coordinator for the Employees’ Charitable Fund Drive, Carol’s contributions were instrumental in achieving our fundraising success. DEQ raised an impressive $27,780 for the Heart of Oregon, a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering and supporting youth in Central Oregon, making DEQ the top fundraiser in our agency size category.
None of this would have been possible without Carol’s passion and dedication. Her efforts truly made a difference in our community. Carol has been with DEQ for over 21 years and has provided executive support to DEQ’s Air Quality Division for the last 17 years. DEQ is grateful for Carol’s service to the agency and partners across Oregon.
We want to take a moment to give a huge round of applause to all who contributed to this year’s Charitable Fund Drive and an extra big thank you to Carol for her time and commitment to this important initiative.
We are proud to have such a dedicated individual on our team!
