celebrating new is now!

Portland League members got together on May 23 to celebrate many new beginnings for Portland and our League — meeting new members, electing a new Board of Directors, using a new voting method, and inaugurating a new form of city government. 

This year’s Annual Membership Meeting was held at the beautiful and spacious Laurelhurst Club. Check-in started at 4:30, with the buffet meal at 5 pm. This event is designed to bring League members together to catch up, enjoy a catered buffet meal, and take care of important League business. (The cost for the meal was $30, although members could attend without purchasing the meal. Information about registering is below.)

Here are the business items that required a votes at the meeting. All of them passed. There was also a nomination from the floor to elect Linda Mather to the vacant position on the nominating slate. Linda was elected.

The following proposal was discussed, but not voted on. Discussions will continue in the summer and fall of 2024, with an email vote after members have the opportunity to become fully informed about this proposal.
