Oregon colleagues, it’s time to write our representatives again.

Action

For those who are free to do so, I’m requesting that you join me in writing OPRD Director Lisa Sumption, Governor Brown, and your local Oregon legislators to fund the OPRD department and preserve the Oregon Heritage Commission. I’ve copied a version of my letter below–you are welcome to copy and adapt. I’ve sent this letter to the Oregonian, OPRD Director Lisa Sumption, Governor Brown, Senator Burdick, and Representative Doherty.

Letter to Director Lisa Sumption of Oregon Parks and Recreation Department

Dear Director Sumption,

I can only imagine how challenging this time is for you. I know you...

Hello, and welcome to summer? Or, if you’re struggling with time losing all meaning–like I am–then welcome to sometime in March when I stopped counting. I’m back from my brief medical break and am feeling strong and ready to dig in.

We are finally nearing the end of the year. It’s been tough for so many reasons and I hope that what I’ve provided this year has helped you in some small way. I am going to take a break for Thanksgiving week and then shutdown for 2-weeks from December 21-January 4, 2021. With that in mind, this will be my last newsletter for the year and I have some new webinars to share with you as well as links to the recorded ones from the past month.

As a member of my community you can register for the webinar and attend the day of the premiere, or wait to receive a link to watch it on-demand (sent 24-hours later). Please note that each webinar invites you to send questions ahead of time via the registration page, so make sure to send in your questions if you’d like me to address them during the presentation. These webinars are free to attend and will begin at 11am Pacific on their stated premiere date–unless noted otherwise.

Upcoming Webinars
