We are excited to introduce four community leaders who recently joined the BEF Board and bring unique perspectives, ideas, and talent to the BEF team. Please join us in welcoming: Jonas Cisneros (Intel Corporation); Jessica McBride (Strategies 360); Vincent Pollard (OnPoint Community Credit Union); and Olga Vargas (Vernier Software and Technology).
Each of these members shares BEF’s vision to create opportunities for Beaverton students to reach their highest potential. Over the next few months, we’ll be highlighting all of these members. Today, we introduce, Jonas Cisneros.
Jonas Cisneros, Intel Corporation
From coaching youth sports teams to managing nearly 500 employees at Intel, Jonas promotes success through motivation and enjoys watching people grow to reach their potential. His inspiration to bring passion to everything he does comes from his father’s advice to “échale ganas” (“give it your all”).
We asked Jonas what drew him to the Beaverton Education Foundation: “BEF is a great organization where the investment in our youth is paying off in the community. Now that my kids are in college, I want to give back to the community and am excited to see the continued impact that BEF has on our local youth. Beaverton is a great place to raise kids and I’m happy to support BEF’s work to ensure this continues.”
A Process Engineering Manager at Intel, Jonas was born in Matamoros, Mexico, and is a member of the Intel Latino Leadership Council.
