ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Tony is an urban real estate professional recognized for his collaborative leadership on innovative redevelopments focused on social equity and healthy communities.

As part of the program, local leaders will spotlight how Oregonians can bring these ideas home as we plan for new transportation and affordable housing projects (e.g., metro Portland’s Southwest Corridor Light Rail). A question and answer session will also give attendees the opportunity to explore these ideas in more detail.

OEC and our coalition partners stand in firm opposition of this latest attack, and in full support of the CPP. This critical program was designed (with careful legal oversight, and input from the business community) to benefit Oregon communities most affected by the mounting

For years, OEC has been fighting to get toxics out of children’s products. Oregonians strongly support the state taking action, but our legislators have yet to do so. But together, we can make 2015 the year that the Toxics Free Kids Act (SB 478) becomes law once and for all.
Yesterday, Helen Anderson testified that businesses should be held accountable for toxics in consumer products. She was speaking as a nurse, as a mom–but also as an international business woman. Helen
From the boardrooms of Oregon’s largest employers to the Main Street of every major city in the state, Oregon businesses are calling for state action on climate change.
Under the banner of the Northwest Business for Climate Action Coalition, hundreds of leading Oregon businesses are recognizing a clear and present need for state action to protect our region’s natural assets, its vibrant communities and its growing economy by signing on to the
The doors are now closed on this year’s “short,” 35-day legislative session in Oregon. Traditionally, the short session is used to re-balance the budget, tweak existing statutes and wrap-up unfinished business from the long session.
