Consulting Project Manager

As of January 2019 Alicia Cash has transitioned from her long-time staff position of Research and Training Project Manager (providing management, logistical, and planning support for virtually every project that CDRI conducted for 21 years) to an associate relationship, available for occasional work as a consulting project manager.  She has a wide range of skills relating to communication, project management, promotion, and publishing and is dedicated to helping our clients deliver better value to their customers and better assistance to the communities they serve.

Her professional background includes printing and publishing experience, public and media relations, and project management. Her interest in citizen involvement and community policing grew out of her experience as a concerned resident of an urban Portland neighborhood where neighbors became involved in community policing solutions to their problems. In volunteer service, she is involved in neighborhood organizations and conducts local environmental awareness events.

Her professional background prior to joining Campbell DeLong Resources in the fall of 1997 is summarized below.
