Join new SMART Reading supporters for a brief and informative session with our Executive Director Chris Otis. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear a quick history of the organization and our work, our outcomes, and how your gift makes a difference in the lives of children in our community. There will also be time for a short Q&A session at the end of the webinar.

Thanks for joining the SMART Reading family. We hope you’ll join us for this session to learn more about how -- thanks to your help -- we’re bringing joy and opportunity to Oregon kids through books and reading.

    Executive Director
    Chris Otis joined SMART Reading as executive director in December 2010. In that time, she has effectively led the organization through a strategic planning process that has resulted in impressive program growth and improved financial stability. With Otis at the helm, SMART Reading’s number of children served has grown by more than 15 percent, which has been achieved by aligning SMART Reading’s efforts with key state education goals and working to gain deeper understanding of the populations the organization serves. Chris has a rich background of more than 25 years in nonprofit leadership. She received both her MBA and her Bachelor’s degrees from California State University in Sacramento.
