Portland,
OR -On January 9, Ron
kicked off the Fourth Annual Oregon Economic Leadership
Summit, which was held in Portland. Since it was launched
in 2002, the Oregon Business Plan has provided the strategic
framework for Oregon's business and elected leaders
— working together — to build a stronger,
more competitive state economy.
In his remarks, Ron noted that
over the last four years, business and elected leaders
from across Oregon have joined together to implement
a plan that has put the state on the path to creating
quality jobs for all Oregonians. Vowing to continue
the work of the Oregon Business Plan, Ron said, “Although
it might be easy to say our job is done now that our
economy has begun to improve, the Oregon Business Plan
was never about kick-starting our economy for just a
few years. We aim to make Oregon businesses competitive
in a global economy for decades to come.”
Ron, who came up with the idea for
the Leadership Summit early in 2002, chairs the Oregon
Business Plan Leadership Committee and was an early
endorser of the Plan.
