We are still reflecting on our time at Oregon Resilience Summit. Here's John Moriarty's reflection, Associate Director at McKenzie Valley LTRG: "It was inspiring to join community organizations from across the state at the Oregon Resilience Summit. Every aspect of the gathering—from genuine land acknowledgement and grounding to workshops, panels and informal conversations—demonstrated the profound positive impact of community organizations. And also reminded me of how critical it is for those organizations to be able to count on financial support from the government and foundation partners who depend on us to address local needs."
