Wednesday, December 03, 2008 from 9:00 AM - 3:15 PM (PT)
In these rough recessionary seas, human
services advocates and their partners will need to work together more closely
than ever to steer state and federal budget ships safely to shore. How to meet that challenge will be
the focus of this year’s advocacy planning session by the Human Services Coalition
of Oregon (HSCO) and the Oregon
Center for Public Policy.
Learn about key issues and help form a common agenda for how to revive the economy, protect vulnerable families, reform the health care system, improve child health care and nutrition, and cope with federal budget deficits.
House Majority Leader Dave Hunt, the event’s keynote speaker, will share his insights.
This event is free and is intended for staff and board members of non-profit and religious organizations, and for state and local offficials. This is not a media event.
