Portland, OR June 5, 2004 -- On Friday, June 18, City Club of Portland will hear State of the County addresses by two of the region's leaders: Diane M. Linn, chair of the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners; and Tom Brian, chair of the Washington County Board of Commissioners.
In many metropolitan regions, county government takes a back seat to big-picture state legislatures and narrowly defined city ordinances. But Oregon is different. From leading the national debate on same-sex marriage to building new and unique collaborations with cities and nonprofit organizations to deliver human services, county commissioners like Brian and Linn have become household names. On June 18, these two proactive commissioners will describe how Multnomah and Washington counties have fared over the past year-and what they see for the future of county government.
(The Clackamas County Board of Commissioners was invited but unable to participate in this forum. Commissioners Bill Kennemer and Martha Schrader are facing re-election, and Club rules limit their appearance while campaigning; Commissioner Larry Sowa's schedule precluded him from attending.)
This week's Friday Forum, which is open to the public, will be held at the Multnomah Athletic Club (1849 S.W. Salmon St.). Doors open at 11:30 AM. The program begins at 12:15 PM and concludes at 1:15 PM. Lunch reservations can be made online at www.pdxcityclub.org or by calling (503) 228-7231 by 2 PM Wednesday, June 16. Lunch tickets are $16 for members of City Club, $18 for nonmembers. Coffee/tea tickets are $5 at the door. General seating is free for members and $5 for nonmembers.
Note to Media: Media are encouraged to attend. Sign in at the registration table on the day of the forum.
