The Downtown Camas Association (DCA), the Main Street‑accredited organization dedicated to revitalizing downtown Camas, Washington, confirmed the hiring of Christine Myers as its new event and project manager, effective September 1. Myers arrives with over five years of experience in community engagement, event coordination, wellness programming, marketing, and partnership development throughout Clark County.
Why Myers was chosen
According to DCA leadership, Myers was selected for her proven track record of organizing community events, her deep connections within the Camas area, and her background in the wellness industry. “Her energy and enthusiasm are exactly what we need to create fun, meaningful experiences for our residents,” said DCA spokesperson Nicholson.
Role and responsibilities
In her new position, Myers will oversee the planning and execution of DCA’s diverse event calendar. Her duties include handling event logistics, coordinating with vendors, cultivating community partnerships, and managing wellness projects that promote health and education. Myers previously founded and directed the program for Fluid Soul, a local wellness and educational business, where she organized dozens of workshops, classes, and collaborative discussions.
Impact on downtown Camas
The appointment aligns with DCA’s mission to make downtown Camas a vibrant place to live, work, shop, dine, and gather. By leveraging Myers’ expertise, the association aims to increase foot traffic for local merchants, provide family‑friendly programming, and foster stronger ties among residents, faith groups, and civic organizations.
Community response
Local business owners and community members expressed optimism about the hire. “Having someone with Christine’s background will help us attract more families and visitors to our downtown,” said a nearby café owner. Parents and wellness advocates also welcomed the focus on health‑oriented events, noting the potential for new fitness classes, nutrition workshops, and youth activities.
Looking ahead
Myers will begin by reviewing the upcoming event schedule, meeting with existing vendors, and identifying opportunities for new partnerships. DCA plans to roll out a series of wellness‑focused events later this year, including outdoor yoga sessions, nutrition seminars, and community health fairs.
The Downtown Camas Association invites residents to stay informed about upcoming programs by visiting its website and following its social‑media channels. With Myers at the helm of event planning, the organization hopes to deepen community connections and continue building a thriving downtown for all Camas families.
