Institute of Portland Metropolitan Studies Greetings! The Institute of Portland Metropolitan Studies (IMS) was created to better connect the resources of higher education to the issues and needs in the six-county, bi-state Portland- Vancouver metropolitan area (Clackamas, Clark, Columbia, Multnomah, Washington, and Yamhill counties). We have included the IMS mission statement and a roster of the IMS board members in this publication to give readers a clear sense of who we are and how we serve the region. You can find out about all of our initiatives, and download additional copies of this publication, from our web site: www.upa.pdx.edu/IMS/. We’ve developed the Metropolitan Briefing Book to provide elected and appointed leaders, citizens and educators, with information about issues and trends common to all corners of our region. Our purpose is neither to create an agenda nor to reshape historic patterns of gover- nance. Rather, IMS provides this information as a means of stimulating debate, discussion, and collaborative action. The Institute stands ready to assist with making connections and finding new partners, thereby putting the information we have provided here to work on behalf of indi- vidual communities and the broader metropolitan area. This fourth edition of Metropolitan Briefing Book begins, as usual, with a report of the results from the IMS 2002 Critical Issues Survey. Following that is another regular feature, an updating of the region’s demographic profile by Barry Edmonston and Eve Pepos of the Portland State University Center for Population Research and Census. Heike Mayer reports in Metropedia on emerging industry clusters in the region’s economy, and a team of researchers contributes a study on economic development strategy in the metro- politan area. Gary Perlstein, one of the nation’s foremost experts on terrorism, provides an overview of the impact of terror on our region since September 11. Finally, Steve Johnson, a longtime observer of and activist in environmental policy, has crafted an in-depth report on the state of efforts to achieve sustainability in the region, complete with an inventory of sustainable businesses. Please call IMS directly if something here catches your eye. We would be happy to share with you whatever additional data we have to help you put that information to work for your pur- poses. We sponsor a number of events yearly and put out a regular series of publications. We also want to hear from you about how we can make this publication better in the future. Finally, our thanks go to our contributors and to the Portland State University Publications Office for their customary outstanding work. Without their assistance, Briefing Book would not be possible.

  • OUR STORIES a Field Journal
    OUR STORIES a field journal 2013-2014 ANNUAL REPORT OUR STORIES a field journal 2013-2014 ANNUAL REPORT Portland Children’s Museum WELCOME …is the only children’s museum in the nation that also includes a school and research center. The Museum, Opal School, and 3 the Museum Center for Learning inform each other in dynamic dialogue between informal, formal, and professional education. Opal School offers rich learning experiences and environments resulting from the practice of inquiry-based approaches through the arts and sciences. The Center studies how children learn in these environments, and helps to apply those approaches to exhibits and programs in the Museum. The result is an integrated, CONTENTS philosophically aligned approach based on playful inquiry— where adults and children learn together both in and out of school, and best practices are shared with educators worldwide through publications, workshops, and symposiums. STORIES Our integrated approach reached its most recent expression with the opening of Outdoor Adventure in April 2014. For years, 5 Opal School had used the adjacent Hoyt Arboretum as an outdoor classroom. The Center had studied how children interact with and learn in nature. That research was applied to transform 1.3 acres of inaccessible land adjacent to the Museum into an area that is neither park nor playground, but rather a carefully DONORS & designed nature learning environment for families with children of all ages and abilities. FINANCIALS 19 We collaborate to create transformative learning experiences OUR MISSION through the arts and sciences. “Write it down,” my mother would say if I wanted to remember something.

  • Governor Kate Brown, President Peter Courtney and Speaker Tina Kotek Re: the COVID Outbreak in Oregon – Restaurant Recommendations for Immediate Action
    * FOR URGENT CONSIDERATION * November 15, 2020 To: Governor Kate Brown, President Peter Courtney and Speaker Tina Kotek Re: The COVID Outbreak in Oregon – Restaurant Recommendations for Immediate Action In March, when SARS-CoV-2 first made its presence known in Oregon, many of us closed our doors voluntarily to keep the public safe. We turned to you in search of support and guidance to navigate the crisis. Although our industry is one of the largest employers in the state - we employ nearly 9% of the workforce - our calls went unanswered. Now as our dining areas are once again ordered closed, we urgently need your attention ​ and support, without it over 75% of Oregon’s 10,456 bars and restaurants are in danger of closing ​ permanently. Restaurants and bars cannot survive with to-go operations only. A survey of independently owned restaurants indicates that the loss of indoor dining results in a revenue loss on average of 81.75% thus forcing closures and mass layoffs. Additionally, our businesses don’t operate like hardware stores, we can’t just flip a switch and walk away. Each time we close we lose perishable inventory and we have to maintain payroll to properly shut down the business. In March, closures resulted in payroll expenses and inventory loss on average of $40,000 per location. Here we are again, closing without a safety net, only this time it is worse. After eight months of operating with reduced capacity we have no cash reserves and are saddled with crippling debt. Those of us who were able to secure Payroll Protection Program funds, have exhausted them.
