Community Forum on City Council Candidates Skills and Abilities on Jan. 19!

  Portland voters deserve to know whether Mayoral and City Council candidates have the skills, temperament, and wisdom to serve our community effectively if we elect them.   Join other Portlanders for a unique community forum in which community members will share their experiences working with City Council members and use this information to identify the skills and abilities we want and need in our elected city leaders.   A wide range of community and neighborhood organizations have joined together to sponsor this forum. The forum co-sponsors will use the input from the forum to develop a list of desired skills and sample questions community organizations and individual voters can use to help them evaluate Mayoral and City Council candidates.  

Help to identify the skills and abilities community members want in Portland' s Mayoral and City Council candidates. Bring your experiences and ideas, and join us on: Thursday, January 19, 2012. 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.  At St. Philip Neri Catholic Church, Carvlin Hall 2408 SE 16th(& Division).

Parking available. Transit:  On the #4 Bus Line
