DA Photos

DDA Alex Hayes and Management Analyst Maggie Gilman Holm helped out at the Rosemont Ridge Middle School Career Day providing mock interviews and an exhibition booth representing our office.

For most students, this was their first experience of a “job interview,” and gave them the opportunity to learn about the great career opportunities here in the DA’s office.

In January 2023, Senior DDA Bryan Brock and DDA Alex Hayes took their recruiting efforts to a national level in Washington, DC, at the first NDAA (National District Attorney’s Association) job fair for law students and recent graduates.

Over 50 employers from prosecution offices across the U.S. set up booths to recruit from the law schools around Washington, D.C. Activities included a meet and greet at the Vue sky bar overlooking the Washington Monument and White House.

Philanthropy

An annual tradition in our office is to purchase gifts for foster children in need. We once again worked with Oregon City DHS and their giving tree program.

Bryan Brock, Jill Chapman, Krysti Bellmore, and John Wentworth take part in the 2021 Walk Like MADD 5K, raising over $400 for Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

DA staff help pass out hygiene products, provide meals, assist folks with their laundry needs and provide access to warm showers at a LoveOne event. learn more
