****************************************************************


The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB) is developing a Long-Term Investment Strategy on how the agency conducts grants for land and water acquisitions. This will be a multi-year framework for implementing OWEB's Mission and Strategic Plan Goals to achieve priority ecological, community, and economic outcomes.

Find out more about the strategy - what it is, and how to get involved:
http://www.oregon.gov/OWEB/roadmap_to_investment_strategy.shtml

If you have questions about the Strategy contact -- Lauri Aunan, 503-986-0047 or email: lauri.g.aunan at oweb.state.or.us



The Long-Term Investment Strategy will identify how the Board desires to structure its investment portfolio to achieve its priorities and identified outcomes to be pursued over time through two year Spending Plans.



OWEB will be holding several listening sessions throughout Oregon. The objectives of the meetings are to:

 *   Provide information about OWEB's plans for developing a Long-Term Investment Strategy, and a brief history of OWEB's programs over time;
 *   Review OWEB's Mission and Strategic Plan Goals; and
 *   Begin a dialogue with OWEB's partners, grantees and the public about their priorities, to ensure the Board is aware of these priorities and considers them as the Board develops the Long-Term Investment Strategy.
