Did you know that motherhood is the single biggest predictor of poverty in old age? What does this say about our community’s priorities and values? Join us for an evening of thought-provoking discussion about the economics of family-raising, the crisis of care, and what we can do to set a new course in Oregon. We will hear from experienced leaders who are working for family forward change on a number of fronts: employment, parent activism, women’s leadership, state policy, and more. We will work together to develop a new vision for a family forward Oregon. Please join us! More about the Forum: The Springboard Social Innovation Forum is a monthly event designed to support those interested in creating a better future. Our focus is to help practitioners or potential practitioners of social projects push beyond discussion and debate into action. Each Forum inspires and teaches with ideas, powerful role models, and stories. Speakers, content experts, panels, and workshops help you improve your strategies for planning and launching effective social ventures. The Forum creates a context to connect, learn, and take action around ideas that lead to tangible change—all in a venue designed for building community.
