Building a Better Portland
August 11, 2023 @ 9:00 am – 9:30 am
The narrative around Portland and the Pacific Northwest comes across as unfavorable to the rest of the world. Yet, despite the challenges and recent national conversation about the city, Portland continues to build, grow and evolve.
Central to the real Portland story is business—particularly local businesses that remain its vibrant lifeblood.
There is no greater advocate for Portland than Stephen Green, who recently accepted the Business for a Better Portland (BBPDX) executive director role—and is committed to solving the city’s challenges.
