2019 is a big year for Emerge Oregon!
Not only are we proud to announce our Class of 2019 – but next year is extra special.
This cohort of women marks our 10-year anniversary!
We’ll start 2019 with our annual “Your Candidacy Begins Today” reception on Friday, January 25. Join us in support of these women and the work it takes to build a bench of future women leaders in public policy and politics!
Half of these women are from outside of Portland, 44% are women of color, 18% are first-generation Americans and all offer a diverse set of professional backgrounds and lived experiences that will make our elected bodies better reflect the communities served.
To follow, stay tuned for our 10-year anniversary event later in the year when we will celebrate the years past and the years to come.
