OLCV's Clackamas County Steering Committee is looking for a few good people…

We are looking for community activists, or people who would like to become community activists, interested in protecting our air, water and local farmers in Clackamas County. 

Your role?

Help to engage citizens and elected officials on crucial environmental issues such as: local effects of global warming, alternative modes of transportation, cleaning up the Willamette, protecting what's important to us and future generations.

It can be hard to keep track of all of the stuff going on in Washington County these days. Luckily, Carla Axtman, OLCV Washington County steering committee member and contributer on Blue Oregon, is continually watch dogging Washington County politics. Here's some of her more recent posts over on Blue Oregon.

OLCV is excited to team up with Our Ocean, a coalition of conservationists, scientists, ocean users, local leaders and business people from around the state working to preserve Oregon's coastal legacy for happy hour!

We are thrilled to introduce you to OLCV's new Executive Director, Doug Moore. 

Doug will join OLCV staff early next month after more than eight years on Capitol Hill, where he held senior positions with two members of Congress, including serving as chief of staff for former Congressman Jim Marshall.

Doug’s deep political experience will help us build on our electoral and grassroots strength. His experience winning tough races makes him a great fit for our organization’s mission of electing environmental champions and passing environmental priorities.

Doug brings an extensive background in electoral politics ranging from grassroots organizing to managing multi-million dollar campaigns. He’s worked on both statewide and congressional races, and has won numerous competitive races. In 2006, Doug’s management of Representative Jim Marshall’s campaign won praise from the Washington Post’s political column, “The Fix”, which called the campaign one of the ten best incumbent campaigns of the cycle.

Doug is ready to work to protect Oregon's natural legacy, build on OLCV's political strength and help grow our grassroots capacity throughout the state. We're thrilled to welcome him to the OLCV community!

Due to an unfortunate combination of circumstances we are postponing our annual fall dinner at Ciao Vito. We look forward to getting this event back on your calendar soon. I will keep you informed as we move forward. 

Thank you for your continued support.
