Does the County Need Charter Reform?

In four years, the Multnomah County Charter Commission will convene for a regular look under the hood to review how the County’s decision making structures are working. How is the County working now? And, how might Portland civic leaders use the next four years to take a deliberate and outcomes-focused view of how the County delivers essential services in our community?

Join us for a conversation with interim County Commissioner Jesse Beason (a member) and Multnomah County’s 2008-2024 Director of Libraries, Vailey Oehlke.
