I had the distinct pleasure of moderating a manufacturing panel discussion earlier this month during the 19th Annual Oregon Leadership Summit.

OBI’s panel discussion with caucus leaders will take place as a webinar on Feb. 8.
Originally scheduled to take place Feb. 8, the meeting has been moved tentatively to June. It will still take place at the Salem Convention Center, and we will share details as soon as possible.
The Summit will include field & industry tours, general session speakers, and a series of discussion panels focused on regional economic updates, federal and state legislative updates, program and industry updates, and more.
