Gateway

Greetings Gateway PAC Members,

I’m looking forward to seeing you all at our meeting on Wednesday, July 15 from 6:30 – 8:00 PM in Classroom 1 of the East Portland Community Center (740 SE 106^th Avenue).

We have a packed agenda, including:

Leadership Elections: The PAC will elect its leaders for the 2008-09 year. Please note that we’ll need a quorum of members in order for the vote to be official.

New PAC Members: We have two new PAC members! Tom Mahoney will be representing the Gateway Area Business Association (don’t worry, we haven’t lost Fred, he has taken another seat on the PAC). Sarah Zahn will represent Human Solutions, Inc, replacing Dorene. Both Tom and Sarah will be in attendance to introduce themselves.

Economic Development Strategy: PDC staff Kate Deane and Geraldene Moyle will be presenting the City of Portland’s Economic Development Strategy. We’re allotting 45 minutes for a presentation and Q&A. This strategy represents a paradigm shift in how the City approaches economic development and job creation. You won’t want to miss this presentation!

Goodbye, Dorene!: Sadly for us (but maybe not for her!), this will be the last PAC meeting for Dorene Warner. She’ll be attending the PAC meeting to say goodbye.

As always, please let me know if you won’t be able to attend; otherwise, see you on the 15^th!

Justin
