Educating and engaging Portlanders on these changes
The Government Transition Advisory Committee, made up of 15 members and four alternates, is the main public engagement body of this project.
The advisory committee’s responsibilities include:
-
Ensuring the voter-approved Charter amendments are implemented effectively and efficiently, following the city’s core values.
-
Maintaining open and consistent communication and engagement with stakeholders.
-
Advising the city on the transition plan and community education and engagement plan.
The committee created their community engagement work plan in July 2023 and has been working on the goals they set out. The work plan and the monthly engagement updates that reflect their progress are available on the Transition's Key Documents page.
