Goldberg accepts new job with Oregon Health Workforce Institute

Photos and story by

David Goldberg, PCC’s Director for Institutional Advancement, has resigned from the college to accept a new position as Executive Director of the Oregon Health Workforce Institute, a new public/private not-for-profit organization charged with researching and effecting Oregon’s health workforce shortages.

Goldberg has served PCC for over five years. He was hired as Sylvania Campus Division Dean for Science, Early Childhood Education and Physical Education. Following a round of budget cuts, Sylvania lost a Division Dean position and Goldberg assumed the role of Division Dean for Health Professions, Early Childhood Education and Physical Education.

“In 2005, I asked David to join my staff and cabinet as District Director for Institutional Advancement,” said District President Preston Pulliams. “During his time on my staff David has contributed greatly to the college. He facilitated the creation of the college’s first marketing plan, he has set in motion a plan for the college’s first major philanthropic capital campaign, he was instrumental in creating the Center for Business and Industry and my ‘Kitchen’ Cabinet of community business leaders, he created our quarterly magazine Kaleidoscope, and obtained PCC’s first direct federal government set-aside.

“I will miss David’s humor, energy and good counsel,” he added. “Please join me in thanking David and wishing him well in his new pursuit.”
