Today, I helped present to the Multnomah County Commissioners an annual update for our new library construction and remodel projects. I sit on the Library Bond Oversight Committee and this was our FY25 annual report.

I covered DEI, mainly in the trade workers that are building our libraries. I was happy to report on progress bringing diversity into our skilled workforce.
