Empower Oregon Survey February 2010

Looking toward the 2011 legislative session, human service workers know that we can play a vital role in successfully advocating for our clients and ourselves.

Empower Oregon wants to hear from creative and dedicated professionals regarding your priorities as we forge the path ahead of us. In the spring of 2010 we will host a forum to report back on this survey’s results and collectively envision the future of human services in Oregon. Together, with a united voice, frontline workers can affect conditions and the quality of services delivered from our workplaces to the State Capitol.
