February 24, 2026 Forum – How’s Business in Oregon City? Navigating the dark clouds of today’s economic climate

February 24 @ 11:30 am - 1:00 pm

Join us to hear expert Oregon City leaders from the financial services, automotive and restaurant sectors. They will share their unique perspectives on the business challenges and opportunities they are facing now. Learn how they endeavor to navigate the same issues you might face, such as inflation, higher operational costs, tariffs, labor shortages, and changing federal and local policies, to name a few. They share the headwinds they face, how they are changing course, and the opportunities they see despite it all. Panelists for the forum include Ira Jones, general manager of Lithia Subaru, Matt Chrisman with Columbia Bank, and Tara Wanstall, owner of the Watershed Cafe.

This is not for the buffet line, but this will be a plated meal brought to you to accommodate your dietary needs. At our event, we understand the importance of catering to diverse dietary needs. If you require a special plated meal tailored to your dietary restrictions, we offer this meal for $32 for any guest, member or non-member. However, if you have special dietary needs and would prefer to enjoy the buffet option, we kindly ask you do not opt for the special plated meal. Our goal is to ensure that every guest has a delightful dining experience, so please indicate your preference accordingly.
