It’s a PDXTech4Good Smackdown-- Client vs. Consultant! A good consultant can make all the difference when your project could use an objective eye or some expert advice. Input from a bad consultant, on the other hand, has the capacity to be completely counterproductive! Join the Portland nonprofit and technology community for a discussion on the topic from some true pros, Tim Wilson of Western Arts Alliance and Ash Shepherd of NPower Northwest. It will be a fun, informative, and fast-paced talk on the essentials of working with advisors.

On Tuesday, June 7th from 5pm-6pm, Innovative Changes will be hosting a seminar on New Banking Regulations and How They Impact You. This seminar will be taught by Scott R. Hartley, Branch Manager at Sterling Savings Bank, who will discuss new banking regulations and how these effect you as a banked or prospective banked person. He will go into consumer rights and more. We highly recommend this seminar to service providers who often relay this kind of information on to clients and anyone interested in learning more about how to use the banking system to your advantage and avoid extra fees. The seminar is $5 and fee waivers are available for those who qualify.

SE youths use pictures to tell health stories

SE PORTLAND  – The old saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words.”  Communities are beginning to come together through photography to address health issues, such as childhood obesity. 

Combining those two thoughts, a group of Southeast Portland youths are organizing a gallery to advocate for better health amenities in Outer Southeast.

The youths, ages 11 to 18, come from an after-school program developed by ROSE Community Development, an affordable housing agency serving five Outer Southeast neighborhoods.
