  • 2016 in Need of a Long Welcome
    In Need of a Long Welcome Supporting the Integration of Newcomers to Portland Portland’s newcomer communities bring considerable assets to the region. Their legacy is one of potential untapped, as they face significant exclusion from economic and civic life, and an environment that is full of challenges without sufficient supports to help them navigate forwards into the fabric of 2016 Portland. This report, prepared in partnership with the New Portlander’s Policy Council, surfaces the history of newcomer conditions in the region, including a policy Ann Curry-Stevens history, alongside a literature review on best practices for newcomer integration, new and Anne Sinkey, Editors Center to Advance Racial Equity, quantitative data on the patterns of newcomer experiences, a chapter on myths and Portland State University myth-busting, and insights into five newcomer communities: Indigenous Latinos, Tongan, Iraqi, Iranian and Somali. The report concludes with the agenda for “a long welcome” for newcomer communities in Portland and the region. Acknowledgements All who shared their time, knowledge and wisdom in this research, as confirmation of their unwavering commitment to the wellbeing of newcomers to Portland. Thank you to the Chair’s Office at Multnomah County, the Office of Neighborhood Involvement at the City of Portland, Muslim Educational Trust, the Coalition of Communities of Color, and Portland State University for their support of this study.

In 2012, the nonprofit’s $154 million investment in energy efficiency and small-scale renewable energy generation delivered record-breaking results. Natural gas savings increased 22 percent and electric savings increased 12 percent over 2011. Renewable generation was 3.4 times higher than in 2011. “Year after year, we’ve connected with people to help them improve their homes, build resilient businesses and create a better energy future,” said Margie Harris, executive director, Energy Trust. “After unprecedented progress in 2012, the change we’ve been working toward is here. Today people are using energy differently and more efficiently throughout the state and harnessing clean, renewable power from Oregon’s natural sources.” In 2012, customers of Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, NW Natural and Cascade Natural Gas made energy improvements ranging from comprehensive home weatherization and solar electric systems to high-efficiency commercial lighting and renewable energy generation from dairy biogas. Through these actions, participating customers will save $408 million on their energy bills over time. “When people spend less on energy bills, the savings ripple through the economy,” Harris said.

  • Initiative Guide for 2005
    WELCOME TO LEADERSHIP SUMMIT 2004! Fellow Oregonians: Welcome to the third annual Leadership Summit of the Oregon Business Plan. Since it was launched in 2002, the Business Plan has provided the strategic framework for Oregon's business and elected leaders, working together, to build a stronger, more competitive state economy. The Oregon Business Plan envisions the growth and success of leading-edge, traded sector industries – clusters of allied businesses that ring up sales outside Oregon and create well paying jobs that buoy local communities. While the destiny of these industries is in their own hands, it is critical that Oregon's leaders pursue initiatives to create the environment that helps our traded sector clusters succeed. The policies we recommend and support can improve the culture of innovation, the work skills of our people, the quality of life that makes Oregon attractive to talented people, and the infrastructure that businesses need to be productive and competitive. We not only can, we have. Among the 12 initiatives introduced at the first summit two years ago, many have already been achieved, including key investments in innovative micro and nanotechnology research, needed road and bridge improvement, a federal forest health bill, expansion of development-ready industrial lands, and a coordinated state branding campaign. At this summit we gather again to celebrate these successes, to fine tune existing initiatives, and to consider new ones, such as finding remedies for rising healthcare costs. Thank you for taking the time to join these important discussions. Your efforts on behalf of this agenda benefit Oregonians in every corner of our state.
