Forum Speaker Series 2025.01.13

"The Pathway Forward" 

Featured Speakers:

• City of Salem Mayor-Elect Julie Hoy
• City of Keizer Mayor Cathy Clark
• Marion County Chair, Commissioner Danielle Bethell
• Polk County Chair, Commissioner Craig Pope

As we embark on a new year, our January Forum Speaker Series luncheon welcomes local elected leaders to express their commitments for bettering our community through their elected service. Hear from our area's mayors and county commissioners about the most pressing issues facing our community and ways we can make Salem and Keizer safer, more prosperous, and more livable as we chart a new pathway forward together.

Later that evening, recently-elected Salem Mayor, Julie Hoy, will be officially sworn in, along with three new Salem City Councilors. This Forum will provide the perfect opportunity for our community to unite and rally around these leaders while welcoming them to a new (and in some cases, first) term of service.
