Executive Director Announcement for COIC
Bend, Oregon: On September 11, 2018, the Board of COIC unanimously agreed to the appointment of Tammy Baney to serve as the Executive Director of COIC beginning January 1, 2019
The recruitment process for the Executive Director began in May after Karen Friend, after serving 22 years at COIC, announced her desire to retire. The COIC Board adopted hiring procedures and conducted an extensive national search to ensure the greatest access to a national candidate pool and provide the greatest opportunity to find the best candidate for the position.
Ms. Baney has had the opportunity to work across many domains, all directed toward supporting the success of communities in the region. She works as an elected official, director, and chair of numerous statewide committees and commissions that affords COIC the opportunity to put her knowledge of transportation, housing, natural resources, economic development, youth development, and regional convening to work to lead the evolution and assure the relevance of COIC into the future. In addition, Ms. Baney has developed strong local, state and federal relationships over the last several years that the COIC Board felt would be an asset to the Executive Director role and to COIC.
COIC Vice-Chair, Bartt Brick stated “COIC is honored and excited to have Ms. Baney join our dedicated and committed staff Ms. Baney’s passion for Central Oregon and her commitment to both economic vitality and being an active voice for the underserved and the marginalized in our community make her a perfect choice to lead COIC forward.” Ms. Baney stated “I’m delighted to accept this challenging, yet exciting position. COIC plays an important role in coalescing Central Oregon’s voice around important issues and we provide critical services to meet our region’s needs. I’m eager to work with our communities and the COIC team to identify areas in which we can strengthen and enhance the value we provide to our region.”

This study argues that the increased rigor of the GED exam introduced in 2014 will improve post-secondary educational and employment outcomes for those test passers. Using ELS 2002 data the study shows that pre-GED 2014 recipients had post-secondary outcomes between high school graduates and dropouts. The study notes that GEDs who failed to complete a post-secondary training had incomes more like dropouts while GEDs who completed training had incomes more like high-school graduates. The study concludes that because the new exam requires increased academic preparation, instruction and association with competent adults, GED 2014 recipients will have acquired more of the behavioral traits associated with the conventional high school process that ends in graduation.
