IMPACT*Beaverton is doing its thing. We are being contacted by local businesses that are having challenges growing and we are here to assist where ever possible. The partnership with the City's economic development team, Mayor's office, SBDC and more is making headway championing our "Open for Business" mission. As I recently wrote to a particular member, "while we cannot click our heels together and fix everything, we can engage in healthy and robust discussions that will often bring about solutions and connections that make things happen".

If you need a voice - we are here to do what we can together as a team for business.

Creekside District Update - City of Beaverton

We meet monthly on the first Thursday at 7:30am - 8:30am in our down stairs conference room. Feel free to contact Lorraine if you have any questions. We'd love to have you.

At the end of the red carpet is the wall of fame, where you can have your picture taken in front of your company logo. Then you see pictures of many guests in front of your logo.
