announce the 4th Annual
Equity & Innovation in Education Dinner

 

Join us for a lively discussion about building a new model for 21st century education! Learn about what reformers are doing in other states to enhance workforce development, close trade skills gaps and respond to a growing desire for more diverse schooling options from parents across the country.  Thanks to our generous sponsors, we can provide the dinner at no cost to Oregon legislators, business leaders, minority leaders and advocates, and education reformers.

We look forward to seeing you at this exciting event!
