We’re excited to welcome our newest staff member to the team at West Multnomah SWCD! Sherman Enstrom joins us as our new Budget & Fiscal Manager, taking on the important role of managing how we plan for and spend District funds.
Sherman Enstrom comes to West Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District with over 20 years of experience in financial reporting, budget preparation and development, financial modeling, strategic planning, economic forecasting, performance measurement, and cash and investment management. He also has significant experience in staff and organizational development and has built and led successful financial teams.
Sherman also brings the ability and experience to direct financial systems implementation and integration for Oracle Financials, PeopleSoft, Microsoft Dynamics, and MIP/Sage. His leadership has resulted in improved coordination between teams, streamlined processes and optimized resource utilization, data-driven decision-making, enhanced communication, and cost savings through reduced duplication of efforts.
He joined West Multnomah SWCD in June 2025 after being instantly attracted to the district’s history, mission, vision and conservation priorities. Previously he worked at Guardian Financial Consulting LLC, and prior to that, he provided financial leadership for nonprofit organizations, banks, city and state government agencies, port authorities, housing authorities, and financial consulting groups.
