Oak Lodge Welcomes a New General Manager

In July, the board of directors unanimously voted to appoint Brad Albert, P.E., as OLWS’ new general manager. Brad had been serving as interim general manager since Sarah Jo Chaplen’s retirement in March left the role vacant.

Brad brings to the position a wealth of engineering and project management expertise from his leadership roles both at OLWS and the City of Hillsboro and the City of Milwaukie.
