Lori Ortiz
My name is Lori Ortiz, and I am a board member residing in Ketchikan, our most southern Catholic Community Services location. As a member of Holy Name Catholic Church for the past three decades, I have been familiar with the good work of CCS for a long time. After I joined the board in December of 2014, I discovered an even greater range of vital services offered by this humble organization. I bring to the board a link to the community of Ketchikan and the surrounding rural areas.
I have been an educator in SE Alaska since I arrived in 1984. My first teaching position in Alaska was that of an itinerant special education teacher. I had a unique position of traveling by floatplane from one small logging camp school to the next. Later, I taught in a traditional elementary classroom in Ketchikan, but a majority of my career has been in the area of special education. With this background, I can help our board address issues important to citizens with disabilities, and issues related to families and children. My work related strengths include the ability to be a good listener, and the willingness to think outside of the box to find creative ways to solve problems. I am an ideas person, a writer, and a life long learner. I hope to assist our CCS management with public relations and fund raising ideas. Ketchikan is a city on an island. Our lives are woven into the fabric of countless other families in community. I promise to represent Ketchikan on this governing board to the best of my ability.
I met my husband Dan in 1984 when he was a young social studies teacher and coach at Ketchikan High School. Dan retired last year and was recently elected to represent District 36 for Ketchikan, Metlakatla, Hyder, Hydaburg , Saxman, Myers Chuck, and Wrangell in the State House of Representatives. We have three young adult children, Molly, Lucy and Sam, who are finishing college and starting careers across the country from Virginia to Washington State. I grew up in Wisconsin, but Ketchikan has definitely become my home. My community and the greater area of Southeast Alaska have been the source of countless blessings in my life. I am happy to give back to the people in these communities, by way of dedicating my service to this board.
