Meet LGMSD

With Meet LGMSD, we take you behind the scenes to introduce you to the folks who make us who we are—the Board, the Committees, the volunteers, and the staff.  Each week, we plan to introduce you to one of the many individuals who contribute so much to La Grande Main Street, ultimately making La Grande a vibrant, stable and beautiful place to gather, shop, eat, work, live, and play.
​
This week, we continue our introductions with Jeremy Robertson, member of the Economic Vitality Committee.

Jeremy Robertson, Economic Vitality Committee member, was born in Northern California and raised in John Day.  He graduated from Grant Union High School and then earned a business degree from Eastern Oregon University.  He is now five years into his career at the Oregon Employment Department, currently serving as a business services representative for Baker, Union, and Wallowa Counties.

While working with Josh Annas and Mary Ann Miesner at WorkSource Oregon, Jeremy was referred to connect with Timothy Bishop and the Economic Vitality Committee.  When asked about what he likes most about working with LGMSD, he replied, “I love building relationships and supporting business owners in our community”.
​
Jeremy delights in spending time with his wife, Marne, his daughter, Tullia, and his son, Teagon.  They all love exploring new activities and locations in our area and further afield.  Jeremy also enjoys pop culture from movies, music, pro wrestling, video games, and comic books.  Notably, he also revels in dropping epic dad jokes for all to chuckle or cringe at, depending on the mood of the room!
