The Portland Chapter is saying goodbye to long time member and past chair
Mike Albers. Mike was extremely influtential as chair over the past year and a half. Transitioning into the chair position in a pinch, Mike helped establish the chapter's legal clerk position and expanded the capacity for Portland Chapter to engage in huge statewide issues from wave energy to water quality. Mike also started and saw through the First Saturdays program, creating coastal outreach opportunities for the chapter and helping to expand membership. Mike is moving south to CA to pursue legal opportunities in criminal justice...we'll miss you Mike!
Stiv Wilson, Vice Chair, was nominated as temporary chair and elections for chair and vice chair will be held at the next chapter meeting.
Nominations are currently open for these two positions. Current nominations are: Stiv Wilson - Chair and
John Koenig for vice chair. Follow the below link for the April Chapter Meeting Minutes:
