About the Event

City Club is proud to co-present Multnomah County’s 2026 State of the County Event. Multnomah County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson will deliver her last State of the County address before the end of her term in December, after serving nearly ten years on the Board of County Commissioners. The program will also include a moderated discussion with Rukaiyah Adams, President and CEO of 1803 Fund, followed by a public reception on the new library’s beautiful rooftop terrace.
