Charnae Decker is the new Athletic Director for the Boys & Girls Club of Western Lane County, proudly serving her hometown of Florence, Oregon. A lifelong athlete and passionate advocate for youth sports, she brings nearly two decades of coaching experience and a deep commitment to the community. A standout three-sport varsity athlete and team captain at Siuslaw High School, she was honored as Outstanding Female Athlete, Outstanding Female Girl, and Florence Future First Citizen. She continued her athletic career at Pacific University, competing in both volleyball and softball.

Before joining the Boys & Girls Club, Charnae spent 13 years as a public school teacher, beginning at Jewell School, where she was named Casco League Volleyball Coach of the Year in 2009. After returning to Florence in 2011 with her husband, she taught and coached in the Mapleton School District and later at Siuslaw Middle School, where she transitioned from coaching high school varsity teams to volunteering with local youth sports programs. Over the years, she has coached everything from varsity volleyball, basketball, and softball to T-ball, Rookies, and various youth volleyball and softball leagues—always with the same passion, dedication, and joy.

Charnae and her husband of 15 years, Adam, are raising their six children—ages 4 through 12—in the Florence community they both love. For the past five years, she has homeschooled her children, bringing the same energy, structure, and heart into her home as she brings to her work with young athletes.

As Athletic Director, she is honored to lead programs that empower kids through sports, build confidence, and create lasting community connections. She is excited to expand opportunities for young athletes and to inspire the next generation through teamwork, discipline, and a lifelong love of both play and competition.
