HBA partner the Portland Business Alliance is offering training for those seeking local office


Are you interested in shaping the policies that directly impact the home building industry? Have you considered running for public office or serving on a governing board? Oregon’s land use laws mandate a statewide planning program that all local governments must comply with, giving our local officials a direct voice in our housing and land development decisions. Portland Business Alliance’s Public Service Training Program will prepare you for the experience of public service.

HBA encourages any members that have a desire to impact our industry through public service to apply for this program. The half-day classes, which occur on the first Friday of each month, run from July through December 2018. By the end of the program, participants will have the background needed to effectively serve on appointed committees and, if interested, to run for elected office.

Portland Business Alliance membership is not required to participate and the deadline for application has been extended to May 4.
