TAO Business Resiliency Series - Executive Session: Featuring Rep. John Lively

TAO is excited to continue our Resiliency Series conversations with Representative John Lively on Friday, July 17th at 8:30 am and wanted to personally extend an invitation to join us!

Economic development is the process by which a community improves the economic, political, and social well-being of its residents. It is broad in scope and includes elements of society not frequently associated with economics such as social welfare, early childhood education, and criminal justice reform. Equitable economic development requires input from social workers just as much as business leaders.

How is Oregon addressing economic development through this health and financial crisis? As a state, what will be the key elements leveraged to improve the economic, political and social well-being of all our residents? Please join us for a conversation with Representative John Lively, Chair of the House Interim Committee on Economic Development to explore answers to those questions.  

Rep. Lively has spent a career as a public servant representing residents in Springfield, Oregon with terms on City Council and as Mayor prior to joining the Oregon House of Representatives. His private sector work spans manufacturing, construction and the semiconductor industry and he is a proud father of two daughters who are raising his grandchildren in the Southern Willamette Valley.

Rep. Lively is on the House Interim Committee on Economic Development and has spent his public servant career representing residents of Springfield, Oregon with terms on City Council and as Mayor prior to joining the Oregon House of Representatives. 

During this conversation, Sally Bell, VP & Executive Director of TAO Southern Willamette Valley, will be asking Rep. Lively how Oregon is addressing economic development through this health and financial crisis and what will be the key elements leveraged to improve the well-being of all Oregon residents.
