Our Next Gathering

A Fireside Chat with Mayor Wilson
Feb 27, 4-6 pm

Camille Trummer will facilitate an interactive conversation with Mayor Keith Wilson and members.

Monthly Meetings

Monthly, September through May

We hope you’ll come to the most of these meetings. This is where we learn together, build trust, and align strategies. The meetings are designed to be interactive and to call on your expertise, insights, and leadership roles. These meetings will be facilitated, casual, and dare-we-say fun?

Skunkworks Meetings

Skunkworks teams set their own schedule. Meetings are open to all members, but the general idea is that a smaller group of dedicated members will be using this time to roll up their sleeves and move toward a goal. The is where we move from alignment to action.

Community Events

All of you are in leadership roles that convene, serve, or represent parts of the greater Portland community. You host events that are open to the public and we’re happy to share them here. Just ask!

What to Expect in Our Gatherings

  • We’ll have tasty snacks and beverages. We encourage you to come early or stay afterwards to catch up with friends and colleagues or foster new relationships.

  • We hope this is a private space to learn together. We appreciate the Chatham House Rule as a guide. It helps create a trusted environment to understand and resolve complex problems. Its guiding spirit is: Share the information you receive, but do not reveal the identity of who said it.

  • The Public Will Building is ADA accessible for those with mobility needs. If need additional accommodation, please let us know so we can ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for you.

  • If you need work space before 4 pm for that end-of-day Zoom call or tight deadline, just let us know! There is often a comfortable place to work or meet available.

  • We’re investing in building trusting relationships and problem solving dynamics among ~150 civic leaders who connect with the broader community through their roles in government, philanthropy, business, community advocacy, media, and the arts. As get started, we’re trying to keep the space small to give new relationships the best chance of emerging and forming.

    • Someone will be ready to let you in at 3:30 pm. You are welcome to come early and socialize, work, or get a little quiet time in the living room.

    • We'll offer beverages at the start of the meeting: Coffee, tea, water, beer, and wine.

    • Meetings will start at 4:15. The meeting will typically include a very short presentation or speaker, followed by facilitated and interactive engagement around a topic.

    • We'll offer cocktail hour snacks and beverages at 5:30.

    • Stay for the After Meeting. Feel free to stay and socialize after the meeting, from 6-7 pm.
