Board of Directors
Tom Campbell
President
Tom has returned to the helm of the Nehalem Valley Historical Society following a one-year hiatus.
During his previous tenure as president, he was a driving force behind the current success of the NVHS.
Dave Bell
Treasurer
Dave is the newest member of the board. His family was in Nehalem over a hundred years ago and he can trace his interest in the region
from stories his grandparents told about that time. He recently stepped down from his seat on the Wheeler City Council which he held for over 13 years. He is perhaps best known in the community for his steamboat, the Captain Bell. He is eagerly working with David Wiegan to complete a successful transition within the Treasurer position.
Eileen Nordquist
Secretary
Eileen has long and healthy roots on our community. Her family homesteaded in the Nehalem and Tillamook areas over a hundred years ago. As a young child she stayed with her grandparents in Nehalem each summer through high school.
Tom Mock
Vice President
Tom has been an avid supporter of the Nehalem Valley Historical Society for over 14 years. He majored in History and Anthropology in College and upon retiring from a career in the building materials industry in Portland, moved to Manzanita to pursue his interest in local history.
Steven Gibson
Archive Manager
Steven is working diligently to bring the archives into a modern, accessible format, a daunting task given the number of individual pieces that are in the collection. He is working with professional archiving companies, computer programs and boxes and boxes of stored material
that – when completed – will allow public access to the NVHS archives for research and personal interest.
A daunting task indeed!
