The Eastern Oregon Economic Summit has quickly become a must-attend annual event. The venue may be Eastern Oregon, but each year the Summit brings valuable and insightful voices from across the Pacific Northwest to share information and lessons.
TRIP. Never has a piece of legislation been more aptly named. The Transportation Reinvestment Package tripped all over itself during the 2025 Legislative Session before crashing to the pavement with a thud in the final week at the Capitol.
For National Nonprofit Day, we’re proud to celebrate the incredible organizations that inspire us to give back and strengthen the communities we call home.

Senator Wyden, a senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, came to see firsthand how PWP provides food, clothing, and access to resources that provide stability for over 200 local youth.
We were proud to serve as the liaison for the day — part of our ongoing pro bono commitment to connecting Salem-area nonprofits with political leaders, resources, and visibility they need to grow their impact.
PWP’s CEO, Hailey Kelley, captured it best: this organization is only two years old, yet it has already changed hundreds of lives through relentless dedication, authentic relationships, and a belief that every young person deserves a shot at success.
Thank you, Senator Wyden, for taking the time to listen, learn, and recognize the work happening here in our community. And thank you to Punx With Purpose for trusting us to stand alongside you in telling your story.
