Here are just a few of the ways professionals in the region build — and maintain — relations through membership. Have an idea you’d like to add? Drop us a line using the comment form below.

Fireside Chats

Join your 2015 Chapter President Taraneh Fultz, APR, for a “fireside chat” on the first Saturday of each month at Sisters Coffee Company in the Pearl. Members, prospective members, volunteers  and entrepreneurs are encouraged to drop by for coffee and conversation.

Some of the things we’ve helped with in the past:

• Interested in volunteering?
• Want to learn more about membership?
• New to Portland and trying to figure out who to connect with?
• Trying to decide whether you should hire a freelancer? An agency? A direct hire?

No agenda. No sales pitch. Just us, helping you.
