ABOUT OYS



Oys has lived in Eagle County for five years. Before her appointment as interim county manager in November 2014, she served as the assistant county manager.

“Cordillera, as a community, has values, structure and club-service amenities like few other communities in the world,” Oys said. “As I explored the level of entrepreneurship, expertise, philanthropy and community values that Cordillera exudes, the fit was perfect. Combine that with the access to trails and outdoor recreation, abundance of wildlife and the overall aesthetic the valley offers, I think that, as one of Colorado’s premier communities, we are well positioned to advance the community’s vision. I see an opportunity to work collaboratively in strengthening partnerships with the Club at Cordillera, The Lodge and Spa at Cordillera, the Cordillera Valley Club and the broader Eagle Valley.”
