Over the past few years, thanks to the loyalty of seasoned members and some new members who valued our virtual programs during the pandemic, we maintained our core services and continued delivering impactful civic education and engagement programs to our community. 

Now it’s spring 2024. We’ve bounced back and are making strides toward our mission, but even as we make progress, the workload continues to outpace us. The more people participate in civic life, the more essential our role becomes. Our work is not about solving a problem once and for all; it’s about ensuring that our community remains informed, engaged, and connected for the long haul.

Will you join us on this journey? We need your ideas, time, and contributions to not only sustain but also expand our efforts.

As we gear up for a busy fall elections season, with ballot measure studies and planning for candidate events already underway, now is the time to become a member and help us keep up the momentum.

Financial constraints should never prevent anyone from engaging with their community. That’s why the City Club of Portland offers a Dues Assistance Fund. Generous members have contributed to this fund to ensure that financial barriers don’t prevent individuals from becoming City Club members. If the cost of membership is a concern for you, please reach out to us at info@pdxcityclub.org to explore opportunities for assistance.
