Description

Join Portland’s civic leaders for a day of pro-Portland advocacy with our state legislators in Salem.

The Portland Metro Chamber, in partnership with the City of Portland and Multnomah County, is organizing a delegation of business, civic, and elected leaders to champion the most critical state investments in the Portland region.

The program includes general session presentations for the full group, as well as small group meetings with State Representatives and Senators.

Confirmed speakers include

• Oregon Secretary of State, Tobias Read
• Oregon State Treasurer, Elizabeth Steiner, MD
• Oregon Senate President, Rob Wagner
• Oregon House Speaker, Julie Fahey

Plus, the Chamber will unveil findings from a new commissioned report, produced by ECONorthwest, on the critical relationship between Portland’s economy and sustainable funding for schools, public safety, health care, and other vital state services.

And the day wraps up with a special reception with Oregon Governor, Tina Kotek.

Don’t miss this opportunity to make connections and represent the Rose City in our state capital!
