“Leadership Portland has provided insight into how the city of Portland operates, who operates it, and the imagination of creating more efficient and resilient systems. It has also shown me how I can see myself as a more active citizen and in what role and capacity I could potentially participate in to create and inspire imaginative change in its future.”
