Back to School for Lifelong Learners
 As the community's children head back to school, members of the chamber should consider their own educations. If you look around the area, you'll see that the most successful individuals-in business and out-are life-long learners. They are also, frequently, graduates of the Leadership Clackamas County program. If you want to become that kind of leader and lifelong learner, click here.
The annual program, sponsored by Marylhurst University and American Medical Response, meets monthly beginning in October. In the program, you'll expand your network, yes, but more importantly, develop relationships that turn into partnerships. You'll learn how public services integrate with business, you'll learn new and better ways to lead. And, you'll have fun.
President's Message
Susan Lehr, President/CEO
