Our Board of Directors is founded on the principles that we all bring unique skills and interests to the group, which leads us to maybe be more involved in one aspect of the program over another, but we all jump in as needed, with great enthusiasm, to ensure our cheer program flourishes, stays organized and continues to grow, with the necessary support in place to manage the growth. Our main focus is always the kids first- as pouring our energy and love into them, to help their growth and development as human beings, and cheerleaders, is our priority.
Please remember we are all volunteers, and give to this organization everything we can give (many, many, many hours). We all have families and jobs outside the home, and obligations that can sometimes make us not readily available. We work as a team, so if you reach out to one of us, and someone else responds, just know it's because we can all do everything when needed, to lift each other up with support. We are a well-oiled machine and we hope you see the result of our efforts pay off in the fun experiences we are able to provide for your cheerleader as they grow through this program.
Interested in joining our board? We do have positions that open every year or two. Our board of director terms are roughly March 1-February 28th and we do ask for a 2-year term commitment. Check out website or socials for open board positions that we will normally post between February and March.
KIM BORTON
President/Treasurer/Registrar
Kim is the main point of communications for registrations, payments and questions that may arise regarding your account or the program in general. Kim does most of the behind the scenes work for the program, focused on the small and large details to help our program puzzle all fit together. Kim also coaches so you'll see her on the sidelines at games and competitions too. She's been involved with SBYC since 2018, and a board member since 2019. She took over the reigns in 2022 when the sitting board retired. Kim has a daughter, Katie, on the team who is a rising 7th grader. Katie has been cheering for SBYC since Kindergarten, so we are very familiar with the experiences and expectations of cheerleaders at all grade levels in this program.
MIRANDA BRASFIELD
Vice-President/Volunteer Coordinator
Miranda is a terrific coach and board member for our program. She brings a wealth of organization and planning experience to the team and assists with everything our program does. She's queen of the Volunteer Program, so look for her to be reaching out if you volunteer, or help make her job easy by volunteering when she reaches out asking for more support for something. :) Miranda has a daughter on the team, Autumn, who is a rising 7th grader. She's been involved on the board since 2021 and has established herself as a dynamic member of the team. We could not run this program without her!
ASHLEY HARTLEY
Coaching Coordinator
Ashley joined SBYC in 2024 as Coach for our Beaverton sideline 5th-8th grade team. She quickly demonstrated her incredible cheer knowledge and strengths at developing cheerleaders through her leadership and implementation of ideas and trainings that helped evolve our program on the sideline. Her coaching prowess carried into Competition season, helping coach both our Youth Game Day team and Junior Traditional team. Her countless hours pouring over stunts, music, choreo and the scoring rubrics to develop routines that allowed our teams to score well and place each comp was highly regarded. Ashley comes to our program with years of cheer coaching experience, sideline and competition experience as a past high school and All-Star cheerleader. We are so fortunate to have her on our board leading our coaching team and training as we head into our next season.
BLYTHE WOODLAND
Fundraising Coordinator & Social Media Coordinator
BRANDI ARNESON
Secretary
Brandi is in her 3rd year with South Beaverton Cheer. She started as a team parent for her daughter's team on sideline, which developed into more responsibilities for our program this past competition season. Brandi is has grown to become a huge asset to the program and coaches with her organization and communication skills. Filling our open Secretary role was a natural fit and we are so excited for her to join our board. You'll also continue to see her in the stands to cheer on her rising 8th grade daughter this 2025-2026 season.
