A graphic that reads “Director Amanda Squiemphen-Yazzie becomes the first Native American/Tribal Citizen to serve on the Multnomah Education School District Board! On February 18, 2025, Amanda Squiemphen-Yazzie made history when her father, Edison Yazzie, proudly administered her Oath of Office before the Multnomah Education Service District (MESD) Board of Directors, making her the first Native American/Tribal Citizen to ever serve on the MESD Board. This groundbreaking appointment to Position 1, Zone 5, followed a competitive selection process, underscoring the tremendous support and trust she has earned within the community. A proud Navajo, Wasco, Yakama, and Citizen of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, Amanda has dedicated countless hours volunteering for boards and committees across Oregon. With a Master’s in Social Work, specializing in Practice and Leadership with Communities and Organizations, she brings a wealth of experience, leadership, and passion to this pivotal role.”

This is such a huge honor and I’m so grateful to be in this role to serve the families that utilize MESD 🤎
