We invite you to join us monthly for updates on the latest local and state policy developments as well as BBPDX happenings. Do you have questions or suggestions for how to engage with our work? Here’s your chance to connect with staff as well as other members and donors.

This month, we’re excited to feature a discussion with Commissioner Jessica Vega Pederson about Preschool for All, a successful program of Multnomah County that voters overwhelmingly supported in the 2020 election which connects 3 and 4 year olds in Multnomah County to free, culturally responsive, inclusive preschool experiences.

Preschool for all is currently in an exciting phase, with hundreds of families enrolled for the 2022-23 school year. The program will grow over time, increasing the number of children and families it serves each year. We’re thrilled for the chance to discuss this, among other things, at this meeting!

Please register in advance for this video meeting. After registering, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a link to join. The Member and Donor Meeting takes place from Noon-1pm every second Tuesday of the month. (Once you register, you’ll be good to go for the full series—though feel free to just attend when it works for you!)
