Bill’s Bio Coming Soon!
Communications Coordinator
I was born and raised in Prineville, and have seen the town go through many changes over the years. I graduated from CCHS, and recently I have been attending Central Oregon Community College. I am expecting to graduate soon with a degree in Computer Information Systems, with web development being a large part of my curriculum.
I have worked in a variety of jobs with the public, including my own business as a professional artist; andI am excited about this opportunity to work for the Chamber, to be able to put into practice the skills I have acquired at COCC. I look forward to getting to know the local businesses community & helping them in any way that I can.
Jody Gast
Office Manager
I moved to Prineville, OR in the fall of 1992 and I love this town. Before moving to Prineville I lived in California. I attended Arcata High School, College of the Redwood in Eureka, CA and Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, CA. Growing up I enjoyed High School Rodeo, showing my horse and I participating in the local fair. I am married to Buddy Gast and we have 2 sons, Mike Gast and Brett Gast. About 5 years ago my husband and I started golfing which we really enjoy and we are members at the Prineville Golf Course. I am looking forward to my new position at the Chamber of Commerce and providing a service to our members, community and visitors.
