The NeighborImpact Board of Directors is excited to announce a series of listening sessions taking place throughout August to gather valuable input for the organization’s upcoming two-year strategic plan. These sessions are open to all community members and stakeholders who want to share their perspectives, ideas, and suggestions about how NeighborImpact can best serve low- and moderate-income residents across Central Oregon.
Hybrid Format Ensures Access for All
NeighborImpact encourages in-person participation but also offers a virtual option via Zoom for those unable to attend physically. This hybrid approach ensures everyone has the opportunity to contribute their insights and help shape the direction of future programs and services.
As a thank you for participating, all attendees will be entered into a drawing to win a $100 donation to the nonprofit organization of their choice. Winners will be selected following each session.
Session question topics will include:
- What’s working to help low-income and working-class households thrive?
- What is needed to help those households thrive?
- What can NeighborImpact do—or do better—to fill those gaps?
- What else should we know about the community and the challenges low-income and working-class households face?
NeighborImpact is committed to supporting people and strengthening communities. These listening sessions play a critical role in building a strategic plan that reflects the real needs and experiences of individuals and families facing economic hardship.
