A message from the President & CEO

 
 
 

Hello friends and supporters,  

It is with deep appreciation and heartfelt excitement that I take on the opportunity to lead Boys & Girls Aid in its mission to support Oregon’s most vulnerable young people in finding forever families, relational permanency, and stable housing. Our staff, foster families, board members, volunteers, donors, and stakeholders are compassionate champions of youth, and I am eager to partner with them in creating a successful future for the agency and its clients. It is truly an honor to be part of such a unique and wonderful organization.  

During my years at Boys & Girls Aid, the agency has experienced considerable change, growth, challenges, and successes. Throughout these times, our reason for being—to serve Oregon’s most vulnerable youth and young adults—has never faltered. I am immensely proud to cultivate our purpose in both new and existing ways as the agency continues to evolve.   

In the coming days, weeks, and months, I look forward to meeting many of you. Together, we will continue Boys & Girls Aid’s core purpose of building permanent connections for the children and youth we serve! 

 

With appreciation, 

Andrea Logan Sanders 
President & CEO

Executive Leadership

Andrea Logan Sanders, MS

President & CEO

During her 18 years with Boys & Girls Aid, Andrea has taken on progressively crucial leadership roles before being appointed President & CEO in 2024. She has been instrumental in leading, shaping and acquiring funding for agency programming, particularly in the areas of shelter, foster care and permanent housing. Andrea approaches her work with a passion for advocating for young people and their families to establish permanent, healthy relationships and stable housing. As part of her community involvement and advocacy for youth, Andrea has been a long-time member of several Washington County advocacy and implementation committees.

 

Elizabeth Sale

Chief Operating Officer

Elizabeth has worked with children in need of permanency and families with a desire to provide permanency since 1999. She is grateful to have spent the last 20 years working for Boys & Girls Aid, an agency that truly strives to understand and support clients' needs. Her own experience as an adoptee led her to decide at an early age to pursue a career in child welfare. She believes strongly that youth need connections with supportive adults and that these supportive adults need assistance as well. This has been central in her career, as well as her volunteer work in which she established and led the first Foster Parent Night Out program in Clackamas County.

 

Angie Fenske

Vice President of Advancement

After serving on Boys & Girls Aid’s Board of Ambassadors for more than four years in a volunteer capacity, Angie made the formal transition into the not-for-profit space and officially joined Boys & Girls Aid as a member of the advancement team in 2023. Angie leads the agency’s fundraising and marketing efforts in support of the agency’s mission to ensure every child grows up in a family of their own. In her role, Angie is responsible for securing financial and in-kind charitable support for the agency through individual and corporate donors, foundations, and volunteers, as well as providing overall direction regarding brand and communication activities.

 

Tim Frew, MS

Vice President of Finance & CFO

Tim started at Boys & Girls Aid in 2017 as Controller, overseeing the Finance and Facilities departments. In 2019, he joined the Executive Leadership Team as Vice President of Finance and CFO.
