Mission
The Public Works Luncheons Committee serves our members with dual objectives. Firstly, the committee strives to foster connections through well-organized recurring events. Secondly, we are committed to offering educational opportunities that contribute to industry and professional knowledge, enabling members to earn education hours for professional licenses.
About the Committee
The Luncheon Committee currently hosts bi-monthly, in-person luncheons throughout the year to facilitate networking and learning opportunities for chapter members. These luncheons are free of charge and include both lunch and a presentation on exciting developments in the industry or profession. Topics range from the review of new standards or guidebooks to insights gained from complex projects and demonstrations of emerging technologies.
Furthermore, these luncheons are broadcast as webinars to reach all members across the state. Presently, only the Portland Luncheons Subcommittee actively organizes luncheons. However, historically, there were also Eugene and Central Coast Luncheon Subcommittees, each responsible for hosting local luncheons for members.
