Rx for Central City Livability is a free, in-person program series hosted by City Club of Portland’s Built Environment Issue Committee. This series will feature expert panels (March–May) and interactive workshops (June–July), exploring how Portland’s built environment can support a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable downtown and inner Eastside.
City Club recently hosted a four-program series, Meet Your New City Councilors! The free in-person events were held at venues within each district and featured moderated conversations, led by Sophie Peel, and informal social time with the Councilors. All programs were recorded and are available to watch online for free.
City Club recently hosted a panel discussion on the 2024 elections. Political ops from both sides of the aisle discussed Portland’s new, more diverse City Council, the Congressional race that elected Oregon’s first Black Congresswoman, and how Democrat and Republican wins differed at the local, state, and federal levels.
This event was in person only and not recorded. Subscribe to our email list to stay informed about similar future events! On January 29, the Health and Public Safety Issue Committee hosted a panel with Tony Vezina, Executive Director of 4D Recovery, and Gresham Police Chief Travis Gullberg.
