Kindness to All: Celebrating Oregon's Frontline Workers
As businesses adapt to evolving mandates and safety precautions related to COVID-19, frontline workers continue to show up and work under difficult circumstances. We’re hearing stories about frontline workers facing resistance to new mask mandates and other health and safety rules. This week, Travel Oregon developed messaging and social tiles<https://t.e2ma.net/click/l8rydh/lg6m8c/hdl9b4b> in response to those stories. The images are intended for partners and businesses to use on websites, social channels and newsletters. Images are linked above for download. You may also share them directly from our Instagram<https://t.e2ma.net/click/l8rydh/lg6m8c/x5l9b4b>.
In addition to encouraging our partners to spread the message of kindness, we talked to six business members of our community to hear how they’ve been managing. Read their stories here<https://t.e2ma.net/click/l8rydh/lg6m8c/dym9b4b>.
If you have questions about how you can use our messaging and images, direct emails to industry at traveloregon.com<mailto:industry at traveloregon.com>.

Your input during these workshops will have direct impact on Oregon’s tourism vision for the future, and how we work together with your region to achieve this vision in areas of resource allocation, product development, promotion and more.
