About
The 2024 OEVA Board
The board was elected by the members at the February 2024 general meeting. 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!
The next board elections will be held at the monthly General Meeting, October 10th, 2024, and annually at the October General Meeting thereafter.

Most of my time is spent on the website, writing Announce@oeva.org emails, and OEVA printed materials. Lately I've taken on the role of President.

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 2018 Tesla Model 3, and a 2020 Leaf.

I have driven over 200,000 miles in EVs starting with a 2011 Leaf. I drive a Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y.
Bill Meyer
Secretary
Secretary@oeva.org
I maintain the club minutes and records, the club's odd-job bureaucrat. I stream our monthly General Meetings for members who can't attend in person.
I favor efficient transportation for the masses, so I'm all-in for BEV - awaiting something better.
I drive a lease-return 2015 Leaf and a 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5.
Paul Burkey
Events Coordinator

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.
Rob Grove
Ask Program Coordinator

I am excited to be on the OEVA board to help drive EV adoption through education, regular meetings, and special events like the test drive events and other clean energy community events. I coordinate the Ask@oeva.org program.
We have 2 EV’s in our family, a 2022 Ford Lightning and a 2021 Polestar 2.
Chris Stonard
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 2019 Audi e-tron.
