As part of Oregon Donor Alliance’s commitment to invest in the leaders we need most and build networks among urban, suburban, and rural communities, we are delighted to invite you to join us for a virtual event featuring Oregon Futures Lab(OFL) and their pilot program Wave of Change (WOC). A year-long cohort, WOC supports women leaders running for Oregon county commissioner seats from all corners of the state with a program tailored to their specific needs. 

During this event, you’ll learn more about the vision behind WOC, hear directly from three of the inaugural candidates involved in the program, and how you can directly support them and this effort. Our panel:

• Naomi “Omi” Strait, Political Director, Oregon Futures Lab

• Amanda Page, Deschutes County Commissioner, Seat 3

• Cathy Rigby, Lincoln County Commissioner, Board Position 1

• Felicita Monteblanco, Washington County Commissioner, District 2

ODA is a proud supporter of OFL and programs like WOC. OFL fights for community inclusion in public processes, partnering to uplift BIPOC leaders. Their flexible, interconnected "Recruit, Run & Retain" model supports both individual leaders and the broader community with the skills and support needed to lead effectively and sustainably. This is part 1 of a 2 part series.
