Welcome to City Club of Central Oregon
–Our mission is to foster an informed community through dialogue and education that enhances responsible civic engagement.
As a 501 ©3 non-profit, we are led by the City Club of Central Oregon board of directors, the executive director and our volunteer committees.
We are supported through sponsorships, memberships, forum attendance, donations and grants.
Central Oregon faces unique and evolving challenges in water use, driven by new state-imposed groundwater rules layered on top of complex and often arcane water rights allocations. Join moderator Emily Cureton Cook and a panel of water experts as they unpack the complexities of managing this precious resource in a region dealing with prolonged drought, population growth, and competing needs from agriculture, rural, and urban areas.
Come thirsty, leave quenched as we explore the intersection of policy, hydrology, and community collaboration in addressing the status and future of Central Oregon’s water supplies.
Continue the Conversation: City Club of Central Oregon’s Challenge Campaign
As Central Oregon continues to grow, City Club is committed to expanding its role in the region’s dialogue. The organization envisions a future where:
- Experts Share Broad-based Knowledge: City Club continues to feature leading voices and experts on topics that matter most to the community.
- Opportunities for Engagement are Expanded: The organization aims to create informal opportunities and varied meeting times and locations to allow a greater diversity of community members to share their ideas directly with opinion leaders.
- Inclusivity is Ensured: City Club will offer opportunities for free attendance, ensuring a broad range of voices from the community are included.
To bring this vision to life, City Club has already raised $25,000 through the generous support of current and former board members. The Challenge Campaign seeks to raise an additional $10,000 to reach a total of $35,000. Join us by making a donation today.
