update Calagator::Event 1250457922 Multnomah Food Initiative Roll back

description At Multnomah County we are asking the question “what is next for the local food movement?” There’s no doubt that Mult Co and Portland region are at the epicenter of a growing national interest in local food. Currently, we have over 20 farmers’ markets, approximately 65 community-supported agriculture farms, and a plethora of restaurants and grocery stores that feature local food. So the question is: have we arrived or have we just started? Multnomah County believes that we have just started. That is why Multnomah County has launched the Multnomah Food Initiative – a public engagement process that will bring the community together to create a shared vision, shared goals, and the first comprehensive community food action plan in the nation. Early next year, Mult Co will be hosting a Food Summit to bring together business interests, the health industry, local governments, and the community to create a 15 year roadmap that will do two things: (1) relocalize our food system and (2) make the healthy choice the easy choice for all of us. Multnomah County would like to hear your thoughts on the Food Summit and Food Action Plan. → At Multnomah County we are asking the question “what is next for the local food movement?” There’s no doubt that Mult Co and Portland region are at the epicenter of a growing national interest in local food.

description nil → The Oregon chapter of the Product Development and Management Association (PDMA) invites you to its November Learning and Networking Event; “Product, Project and Program Managers in Product Development: Who’s Responsible for What?” Throughout the development of every product, tough decisions have to be made including funding, features, schedule and resources. Three key roles for this process are the product manager, the project manager and the program manager. Three panelists with experience at IBM, HP, and Tektronix will explain each manager’s perspective on the product development process and explore ways to eliminate potential areas of overlap and friction. A Q&A session will follow allowing the audience to clarify points or share additional thoughts on this important topic. Attending this event will provide you with a clarification of roles and suggestions for how to work more effectively with each position at every stage of a product development cycle.
