Board of Directors & Committee Chairs

Devon Sloan

Secretary

Devon has been a volunteer with the Oro Valley Historical Society since 2018 after retiring as Director of Convention Services at the El Conquistador Resort, A Hilton Hotel.

She moved to Oro Valley from Seattle in 1999, and was delighted to become part of an organization that is able to provide camaraderie with other volunteers while sharing the incredible stories of people, animals, geology, vegetation, architecture, and more that are such important parts of our community.

Join us – history loves company!

Susan Chambasian

Officer

I am from Racine, Wisconsin. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education with a minor in History and later a Master of Education degree. I taught high school physical education for 31 years and volunteered at the Racine Heritage Museum Research Center.

I joined the Oro Valley Historical Society in 2014 to help organize its collections, and in 2016, I created the Collections Committee to manage and preserve them. I have assisted with creating museum displays, educational posters, and grant writing. Presently, I serve on the Board of Directors, work as a museum docent, and chair the Collections Committee.

My hope is that through our efforts, people of all ages will better understand and appreciate HISTORY.

I spent most of the first half of my life in Tucson and the rest here in Oro Valley.  In 1976, we, with our two sons, bought a house three doors away from Jim and Marjorie Kriegh and their family. We quickly became fast friends.  We heard firsthand about the history of the incorporation of the Town of Oro Valley as the idea was born in the Kriegh living room.

When the Oro Valley Historical Society became a reality, I joined as a member and have since served on the Board two separate times.  The enthusiasm of all of the volunteers who keep this Society going is amazing and makes me want to continue to participate.  The history of the Town is certainly being preserved and more information is learned by all of us as we go along!
