About

The 2026-2027 OEVA Board

The board was elected by the members at the October 8th, 2026, General Meeting for a 1-year term. We are responsible to the membership for setting the club priorities and direction, organizing events and activities, and for meeting the requirements of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. You may email to the board members using their @oeva.org email addresses below.

If you are interested in participating in the leadership of the OEVA, please talk with one of the board members. We are always looking for motivated people to move the OEVA forward!

Ron Jackson

President
Pres@oeva.org

Web Administrator
Web@oeva.org

As President, I coordinate the Board who actually does most of the work. Most of my time is spent on the website, writing Announce@oeva.org emails, and making OEVA printed materials.

My wife and I drive a 2023 Tesla Model Y and a 2026 Tesla New Model Y.

Bill Meyer

Treasurer
Treasurer@oeva.org

I track the club's income, disburse payments, and make required filings for our 501(c)(3) status. I also lead our government relations.

I favor efficient transportation for the masses, so I'm all-in for BEV - awaiting something better.

I drive a lease-return 2015 Nissan LEAF and 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5.

John Hinshaw

Group Drives Coordinator
Drives@oeva.org

Secretary
Secretary@oeva.org

I organize OEVA drives around the metro Portland area to scenic spots, interesting restaurants, museums, and anywhere else that members would like to explore.

As Secretary, I keep the minutes for board meetings.

I’ve driven electric cars since 2015 and currently own a 2026 Tesla Model Y.

Morris Green

President in 2023
Past-President@oeva.org

I strive to create a fun atmosphere where we can share our love for EVs with others and answer any questions about EVs that people have. And it’s fun to get together and just talk, too!

Our family has a 2013 Leaf, a 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance, and a 2020 Leaf.

Paul Burkey

Events Coordinator
Events@oeva.org

I coordinate our participation in community events, schedule volunteers, and normally participate at these events.

I have several early EV project cars: a 2000 Corbin Sparrow, and two 1996 Ford Ranger electric pickup trucks that need batteries and other work.

Erica Toussaint

Hospitality Coordinator
Hospitality@oeva.org

My role is to enhance the hospitality of our events, making our meetings more fun and welcoming, and generally do my best to compensate for the excess of engineers on the OEVA board.

We drive a Tesla Cybertruck.

Doug Haines

Logistics Coordinator
Logistics@oeva.org

Putting on OEVA meetings and particularly events requires a lot of planning and logistics coordination. My role is making sure the right stuff shows up in the right place at the right time.

We drive a Tesla Cybertruck.

I reach out to EV-related businesses in the Portland and surrounding area to find those who would like to host one of our monthly General Meetings and tell us about what they are doing with EVs.
