Anna Gahley
Biz Harney Opportunity Collaborative Coordinator

Anna has been a part of the Harney County community since she was about four years old. Growing up in Harney County with entrepreneurial parents Anna's own passion for business began to grow. Following high school she attended Oregon State University and graduated in 2018 with a Bachelors in Business Management. She brought this degree home to Harney County and secured a budget technician position with the Bureau of Land Management and in 2019 transitioned to a role as realty specialist. In addition to her work with BLM, Anna's own entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well as she owns and operates a mobile DJ service.

Anna was introduced to High Desert Partnership through her volunteer work with the Biz Harney Opportunity Collaborative. A collaborative effort working to stimulate business in Harney County and support people like Anna who own and manage a business or are dreaming of starting their own business. When the opportunity was presented to Anna to join the High Desert Partnership board she didn't hesitate.

After serving on the board for several years, beginning December 2024, Anna shifted from her role with the board and employment with BLM to working full-time with HDP supporting the Biz Harney Opportunity Collaborative.

When Anna isn’t working or collaborating, she enjoys traveling with her husband Matson, spending time outdoors hunting and recreating, trying out new recipes in the kitchen, and keeping up with her son Brody.
