<p class="MsoNormal">Back in the beginning of the pandemic Oregon Heritage launched a series of Heritage Bulletins, the Resilience Series, designed to help organizations focus on best practices during recovery. The first bulletin in this series provided resources
and suggestions for structuring your board meeting and including check-ins on important governance items such as by-laws, budget, strategic planning, board development, disaster preparedness, etc. If you are looking for help on how to make your meetings productive
and hit the major governance highlights, be sure to check out the bulletin <a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/HB36_BoardAgendas2.pdf">

<p class="MsoNormal">To accompany Oregon’s <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/96mwrh/pv851c/xphft7b">
10-Point Economic Recovery Plan</a> released by Governor Kate Brown, Business Oregon is creating a statewide Economic Recovery Plan, which will emphasize assisting those most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly Oregon’s underrepresented businesses,
communities, and organizations. Business Oregon will analyze the areas of Oregon’s economy that have been most negatively impacted by the pandemic, while taking into consideration both region and industry. The effort will be supported by state funds paired
with a $177,600 grant from the federal Economic Development Administration.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The plan will identify existing economic development programs that may best mitigate those impacts, and propose new programs to fill the gaps or better meet needs. The programs identified must promote growth and address unmet recovery needs
in equitable ways, particularly within those communities most impacted by the pandemic and those under-resourced to begin with. The plan will help identify metrics to track needs and impact, and provide an overall roadmap for the state to build back better
and recover from the economic impacts from the pandemic.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Business Oregon expects to have a final plan produced by February 2022.<o:p></o:p></p>
