Partners for Rural Washington

Opheim

Partners for Rural Washington (PRWA) appointed Jody Opheim as its new executive director. Opheim, who has been a part of the organization since 2022, brings a wealth of experience and a commitment to enhancing the quality of life in rural communities with populations of 5,000 or less. Opheim most recently served as PRWA's Southeast region director. In this role, she provided assistance and guidance to rural governments in eastern Washington, focusing on grant funding, project development and management. She helped advance a wide array of projects, including water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure, disaster recovery efforts, public safety, healthcare facilities, and digital equity programs. In her new role as executive director, Opheim will lead PRWA's efforts to support and empower rural communities throughout Washington state. Partners for Rural Washington is the state's federally designated Rural Development Council dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in rural communities across the state through strategic partnerships, resource development, and advocacy. PRWA works closely with local governments, nonprofits, and community groups to address critical infrastructure needs and promote sustainable economic development.
