September 22nd, 2026 Forum – Transforming Clackamas: Classroom by Classroom

Grab lunch with the Oregon City Business Alliance to talk about Education in Clackamas County.

Presenters:

Education is central to Oregon City’s economic vitality and quality of life. Join Dr. Tim Cook, President of Clackamas Community College, and Dr. Sarah Crane, Assistant Superintendent of the Oregon City School District, for a conversation about the challenges and opportunities shaping education in our community. The presentation will explore education funding, investments made possible through recent bonds, the expansion of career and technical education, and the workforce skills employers need for the future. The discussion will also examine the value of higher education and how stronger partnerships among K–12 schools, colleges, and local businesses can create clearer pathways from education to meaningful careers while strengthening Clackamas County’s workforce and economy.
