The League of Women Voters of Portland will conclude its study of Portland's Neighborhood Association Program with a panel discussion, "How Portland's Neighborhood System Serves the City Today and In the Future," on Tuesday, November 14, at 7 pm in the Board Room of the Multnomah Building, 501 SE Hawthorne, Portland. The event is free, and the public is invited to attend.
Panelists will include Paul Leistner, Executive Director of Portland State University Public Participation Center; Jo Ann Bowman, Associate Director of Oregon Action; Neighborhood Activists Arlene Kimura from Hazelwood Neighborhood Association and Pat Wagner of Linnton Neighborhood Association; and Brian Hoop, Neighborhood Program Coordinator, Portland Office of Neighborhood Involvement. LWV study chairman Pat Osborn will moderate the panel.
The panel discussion coincides with the release of the League's report, "Part II: How Portland's Neighborhood Program Works Today," available on the League's web site (www.lwvpdx.org) after November 1. Other documents produced by the League as part of its study, a history of the Neighborhood Program, and results of surveys of Neighborhood Associations are also accessible on the League's web site.

Through November League members will meet to discuss what they have learned about the city's Neighborhood Program and, through a process of discussion and consensus, will develop a new advocacy position on how the Neighborhood Program should be structured in the future.
"We feel our work in this area is very well-timed in light of the reforms that are being discussed by Mayor Tom Potter's Community Connect work group," said League President Carol Cushman. "We hope the community as well as our members will benefit from our research."
