20 Under 40: Samantha Pardy

Downtown Athletic Club

Hospitality, positivity, and a Midwestern work ethic push me to be the best version of myself for my family, friends, colleagues, and community. Since moving to Eugene in 2020, I’ve been welcomed with open arms (and handshakes), and I’ve built relationships, friendships, and partnerships with the locally owned, hard-working businesses that make this city what it is. Leading marketing and outreach efforts for the Downtown Athletic Club, a family-owned club downtown, has shown me how much supporting local and the downtown area means to me. Wherever I go, I commit myself to making people feel welcomed and supported, and aim to have a positive impact in as many lives as I can.
