Dirk Rohne was elected to the Port 委员会 in July 2017. He currently serves as the 委员会 Secretary. 成长的过程中, Dirk’s family owned two farms— one in Madras, 俄勒冈州, 他出生的地方, 还有一个在布朗斯米德, 就在纳帕城外. He currently resides in the same Brownsmead house that he grew up in, and he and his wife operate a dairy farm which they purchased in 2001. The 200 acre farm has close to 300 cows of different ages. It is a family farm, in every sense of the word, as they are a young family with two children.
委员会er Rohne has lived in Brownsmead for over 45 years, with the exception of time away at 俄勒冈州 State University and abroad in Germany and New Zealand. He and his wife live here because “this is very much where we want to be,” and he finds plenty of reasons to love this area. Brownsmead has a “natural splendor” and a strong community feel.
For respite from the hard work on the farm, 他们去了十大电子游戏正规平台, where they enjoy being a part of the vibrant social scene. Dirk’s wife, a native Astorian, has been involved in the Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival. They try not to miss any opportunities to enjoy Astoria, 从FisherPoets, 到周六的艺术散步, to just getting together with good friends for the evening. He believes “it’s all about people; lots of good people in our community.”
To serve and support his community, Dirk has been involved in a number of nonprofits and governmental organizations. He has been an active participant in the Knappa Fire Department, 纳帕水协会, 布朗斯米德戴金区, 还有布朗斯米德田庄. He has also served on the Clatsop Community College Board of Directors, the Clatsop County Planning 委员会, and the Clatsop County Board of 委员.
