PORT ANGELES — Carol Gentry, formerly employed in administrative capacities with the North Olympic Library System, Gentry Architecture Collaborative and Clallam County Family YMCA, has joined the Dungeness Crab & Seafood Festival staff as operations manager.
She will report directly to Executive Director Scott Nagel.
“With her extensive background,” Nagel said, “[Gentry will] be able to hit the ground running and help improve our structure and management while building on the longtime contributions of Mickie Vail, who has decided to take some well-earned time for herself.”
Gentry was instrumental from 1992-2002 in helping the Clallam County Family YMCA manage financials and membership growth.
She is a core volunteer for Captain Joseph House and is involved in several community organizations, including Kiwanis Club of Port Angeles, Dream Playground and the Center for Community Design.
Her work with the Port Angeles crab festival will include administration, finance, interfacing with key organizations, representing the event at community meetings, as well as sponsorship support and website management.
The festival, scheduled Oct. 9-11 this year, is produced by Olympic Peninsula Celebrations, a Washington nonprofit corporation, and the Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce.
