Portland Advocacy Day in Salem

Description

New in 2025! Get ready to advocate an unabashedly pro-Portland agenda to our state representatives in Salem. The Portland Metro Chamber is organizing a delegation of business, civic, and elected leaders to champion greater state support for the issues most critical to our region.

The program for this inaugural event includes general session presentations for the full group, as well as small group lobbying visits to the offices of State Representatives and Senators. Plus, the Chamber will release findings from a brand new commissioned report, produced by ECONorthwest, on whether Portland receives its fair share of state tax revenue.
