SALEM, Oregon (December 3, 2024) — Pac/West Lobby Group is proud to announce its pro bono representation of two significant organizations, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and Shangri-La, as they prepare for the 2025 legislative session. Pac/West will work to ensure these organizations are able to effectively communicate their priorities with lawmakers.

The Anti-Defamation League was founded in 1913 to combating antisemitism and hate. Its mission has expanded to secure justice and fair treatment for all, and includes fighting extremism, online hate, and bias, while promoting education and inclusivity in communities worldwide.

Shangri-La, an Oregon-based nonprofit established in 1963, provides essential services for individuals with disabilities and mental health challenges, allowing them greater independence and a higher quality of life. Its programs include supported employment, residential care, and skills training that empower individuals to achieve their goals.

Both organizations hold special significance for Pac/West President Ryan Tribbett. His grandparents were instrumental in founding Shangri-La, and his lifelong commitment to promoting and protecting equitable representation aligns with ADL’s mission to challenge discrimination.

 

“Our work reflects our values,” Tribbett said. “Giving a platform to causes that build inclusivity and dignity is not just an act of generosity — it’s a responsibility. Our team is excited to be working with ADL and Shangri-La and helping advance their important missions.”

Pac/West has long demonstrated its dedication to supporting nonprofits, engaging with causes that promote youth, families, and stronger communities in Oregon. These investments of time and resources are an integral part of the company’s values.

This Giving Tuesday, Pac/West is amplifying the importance of advocacy in creating meaningful change. By partnering with ADL and Shangri-La, the firm continues its mission to support organizations that uplift vulnerable populations and give back to communities it serves.
