A native Michigander, John graduated from MSU and moved to Oregon in 1975.  He completed a Master's in Science Education from Southern Oregon, and Administration License from Portland State and George Fox.

John moved to Chiloquin in 1978, married Dr. Diane Haseman DVM, and began teaching science at Chiloquin High.  John worked for 29 years in Chiloquin Schools.  We live on a small farm with a big garden, selling our excess at the Friday Market.  Another passion is our camping and WorldMark travel. 

John also is on the Klamath County School Board, reads with Chiloquin SMARTees, Chairs Chiloquin Sheriff's Advisory committee, and serves on the CLAS Advisory committee.  He stays involved in Chiloquin Schools by running the clock for football games and judging Senior Projects, when available. 

John is pleased to join the CVIP board and serve the Chiloquin community in this endeavor.

Patrick has lived in the Chiloquin community since 2001. He enjoys participating in many of the outdoor activities our area offers, such as camping, hiking, and kayaking. 

He is a graduate of Grand Canyon University with a Bachelor's degree in Applied Management. His 32-year career in the US Air Force consists of aircraft maintenance, logistics, and various leadership roles. He retired as a Command Chief Master Sergeant in December 2022.

Patrick is excited to serve our community as one of CVIP's newest board members and Vice President.

Our Secretary and longest-serving Board Member, Faith Wilkins, has a Master Herbalist Degree. She has worked as a Survey Botanist for the last 25 years. She (and Bill) raised their family of three daughters here in Chiloquin.

Faith is also our accountant. She is our negotiator when it comes to getting the most for our money. She is confident, reliable, and excels in the area of integrity. She has been a part of CVIP from the time our organization began. She is valuable in her knowledge of our history as an organization and desires to bring CVIP to the next level.

She understands the meaning and heart behind “Chiloquin Visions in Progress” because she was part of the team that raised the money necessary to build the beautiful building we now occupy. Her vision for the community moves her forward.  And she greatly helps CVIP to move in the same direction.

Larry Dugger is a newer resident of the Chiloquin area.  He and his wife, Christy built their retirement home in Oregon Shores II after residing on California's North Coast and raising a family for many years.

Larry is a graduate of Humboldt State University in Arcata, California with a Bachelor's degree in Forest Management and a Masters degree in Business Administration (MBA).

While attending school and serving in the Naval Reserve, Larry worked for the US Forest Service on the Shasta-Trinity, Lassen and Mendocino National Forests, as a Fire Prevention Officer and Timber Cruiser.

After receiving his BS, Larry spent 3 years Navy active duty as a Commissioned Officer, eventually transferring to the US Coast Guard Reserve  and achieving the rank of Lieutenant Commander before he retired.

After active-duty military and the Forest Service, Larry began a 37 year career with Simpson Timber Company’s Lumber Division in Arcata, CA.  He ended that part of his life as a Financial Analyst. 

Larry has done significant volunteer work in his communities, serving 30 years on the board of the Arcata Economic Development Corporation.  Also serving twice as Board President.

Presently, Larry serves on several boards and volunteers as a math tutor at Chiloquin Jr/Sr High School.

William has been involved with CVIP since it's inception. William was past President of the CVIP Board of Directors, both in 1999, and from 2015-2017. 

William is proudest of his family, Faith, and their three daughters, who were all raised here in Chiloquin.

He was a wildland firefighter for over 30 years, working mainly for the US Forest Service, Oregon Dept. of Forestry, and for some private fire contracting companies. William ran a wildland fire engine for most of those years, and still looks upon Initial Attack as one of his peak life experiences.

William was the oldest graduate of Technical Fire Management, which was the equivalent of a Master's Degree in Fire Management.  This was instrumental in obtaining his last permanent position with the USFS, that of Fuels Specialist on High Cascades Ranger District of the Rogue River -Siskiyou National Forest.

One of William's strong points is electronic media.  he established a Twitter account for CVIP that has been successful in getting out our mission to people that have never heard of Chiloquin.  He revitalized the Community Center Facebook page, and it now serves as a  hub for community events and special occasions.

Now that Robert Cowie is our new Executive Director, Bill will be filling in where needed, but concentrating on Event Management (calendars), and keeping up CVIP's online presence.

Christy Dugger, a Toronto native who later became a U.S. citizen,  settled in California as a single mother. Her academic journey at Victor Valley College and Humboldt State University was marked by numerous honors and awards in her Art major and Natural Resources minor. These accolades led to her groundbreaking appointment as the first female city planner in the region during her senior year.

She met & married Larry Dugger in 1980.  That led to a 40-year career in planning & design, culminating in her design/build firm with the support of her business manager husband, Larry.  During this time, she worked with multiple architecture & engineering firms, contractors, and homeowners, as well as city agencies. 

She closed her career years, working primarily in health care design and A.D.A. work until increasing disability forced her retirement. 

While juggling work, raising a family, and caring for parents, Christy squeezed in 8 years of part-time teaching art and drafting to Junior High kids.  She also served on multiple boards overseeing daycare, housing, open space, recreation, education, and economic development issues.

She has been volunteering as the assistant director of the Two Rivers Art Gallery since 2014.  Christy & Larry love living in Chiloquin, where they enjoy the beauty and sense of community and see the region’s potential becoming reality.

Judy is a retired Art and Spanish Teacher with a Master's in Business. She is our Art Gallery Director and has been with us for over two years. We have seen our Art Gallery come to life under her management. Still, she will tell you that if it wasn't for the hard work and determination of those before her, she couldn't have accomplished what many call a unique and quaint art gallery with 80 talented local artists.  ​

When she's not managing the Art Gallery, Judy can be found indulging in her personal interests. She loves working on her own artwork, authoring books, crocheting accessories, and creating oil paintings. Her passion for art extends beyond the gallery walls, and she deeply appreciates the team of volunteers who work tirelessly to keep our Gallery open six days a week.

Judy is also community-minded. She and her husband, Pete, have lived in Chiloquin for 28 years (Judy) and 40 years (Pete). They are in love with the community and the people. They have done so much to help the community, and Judy is now working on refreshing the large Mural on a building wall facing the Gallery parking lot to preserve art in our area. With the help of the Gallery Designer, Heather Honeywell, Judy created Highway 97 signs. 

She aims to get travelers and tourists off Hwy 97 into Chiloquin to enjoy all our treasures!
