Greetings!
We had an awesome turnout this a.m. for the 1st Congressional District Debate at the Broadway Rose Theatre. A big thank you to the candidates for their participation and spirited debate and helping our member businesses/residents be more informed as they prepare to vote in the Jan 31st Special election.
Another big thank you to Dan Murphy, GM of the Broadway Rose and Tigard Chamber Board President for his excellent job as moderator. For those of you that missed the debate, both campaigns video taped it as well as Community Newspapers so it should be available online. KUIK broadcast live during their morning show as well.
This debate was brought together by the Washington County Chambers of Commerce Partnership (WCCCP). Another big thank you to Nancy Bruton, Executive Director, Sherwood Chamber and Linda Moholt, CEO, Tualatin Chamber who worked with me on the logistics, scripting, press releases, invites and more to make this day possible. This shows the true spirit of collaboration resident within the local chamber community.
Have a great week!
Debi

| BUILDING A STRONG, LOCAL ECONOMY |
|
Metro, the regional government that oversees transportation, natural areas, urban growth and development in the greater Portland area has developed a new tool called Opt In to hear the opinions of more local residents. Opt In is an online public opinion panel that asks participants to complete 1 or 2 short surveys each month on topics of regional concern. Opt In was launched a year ago and more than 8,000 people have signed up so far. However, most of these members live in Portland and Multnomah County. Washington County is very under-represented. Metro wants to hear from a broader range of opinions and viewpoints to help make our region a great place to live. Visit www.optinpanel.org to learn more and join."

We are working to bring you a monthly calendar of lunch and learns from noon-1 p.m. I am looking for businesses/people interested in presenting a lunch and learn topic that has broad interest to chamber and local businesses. We will do multiple lunch and learns/month depending on presenter interest/availability and other chamber events schedules.
There is no fee for presenting & use of Pearson room. Presenters get to interact with 20-30 local businesses, spend 30-40 minutes or so on their topic and get 5-10 minutes to present their value proposition as a business. Sponsors may provide a light lunch if they desire (could increase attendance) or it becomes BYOL (Bring Your Own Lunch).

We have joined with all Washington County Chambers as part of our WCCCP partnership to bring you a 1st Congressional District Forum/Debate between Rob Cornilles and Suzanne Bonamici on January 10th, at 7:30 a.m. Attendance at this event will be limited to chamber member businesses from Washington County chambers. An invite will be coming over the next week or two with more details.
Chamber Day at the Oregon State Capitol is planned for Feb 16th, 2012 at 8:00 a.m. at the Salem Conference Center. Interested Chamber members are welcome to attend with GAPP committee members. More details to following including cost, agenda and speakers. Stay tuned.
Your GAPP committee met last month with Representative Margaret Doherty to hear an update from her on the Oregon Health Insurance Exchange. This independent exchange is expected to help combat the rising cost of health insurance by enabling individuals and small businesses to have access to health coverage at more competitive rates through pooling of applicant policies. The business plan is currently in development and we expect more details to come out of the Feb 2012 Legislative session regarding this major initiative. Stay tuned for more info.

Tigard Library - FREE Program
The Tigard Public Library will present a free program about the men and women who worked for the Crown Zellerbach paper mill at Willamette Falls on Sunday, Jan. 22, from 1-2 p.m. "$1.09 an Hour and Glad to Have it..." will feature West Linn author Sandra Hickson Carter, whose book tells the workers' stories.
During its prime years after World War II, Crown Zellerbach employed just under 2,000 people at West Linn who coordinated loading and unloading trains, upper river loggers, tug boats, barges, sawmills and machines for paper production. Carter will describe the personal history of paper-making at the Falls, share anecdotes from her book and play a short video.
The program will be held in the Library's Community Room. For more information, please call the Library at 503-718-2517 or visit the Library's website at http://www.tigard-or.gov/library and click on "Programs & Classes."
