SUMMARY:The Green 2.0 Environmental Experts of Color Database Launch
DESCRIPTION:The Green 2.0 Environmental Experts of Color Database addresses a pressing issue—the lack of diversity in experts providing testimony in the policymaking process nationally and locally. The database provides policymakers\, organizations\, and individuals with an expansive set of environmental and environmental justice leaders\, and offers a more representative perspective on these issues. Join the database launch on September 14\,  to hear from key experts and policymakers about how we may implement practices and policies that build a more inclusive set of experts in the environmental sector.

SUMMARY:BEYOND THE BEYOND: PREPARING BEND FOR A WILD FUTURE
DESCRIPTION:How will our city and our lives be changed by population growth\, a warming world\, hotter summers and less water\, new technologies and other emerging trends? And how can we plan to maintain our region’s beauty and quality of life? \nBeing resilient and seeking out opportunities to innovate is what moved Oregon into the forefront of planning 50 years ago and it’s what we strive to be far into the future. Come learn how planning will need to change in future decades with case studies on transforming traditional suburbs\, developing new models for infrastructure planning\, and building resiliency in an era of climate-driven events — and what we can do to retain the best of Bend as it moves into a wild future. \nAdmission is FREE but due to space constraints\, pre-registration is required. Doors will open at 6:30pm and the program starts at 7pm. A no-host bar will be available. \n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER FOR FREE\n\n\n\n\n\nTHIS IS PART 3 OF A THREE-PART SERIES CELEBRATING OREGON’S LAND USE LAWS. YOU CAN VIEW PART 1 AND PART 2 HERE.
