A Brand New Speaker Series: The Nitty Gritty
ELGL is proud to announce a brand new speaker series format called “The Nitty Gritty”. Now what in the world does this mean? It means we want to give our members and opportunity to dive deep into a very detailed local government subject with a practitioner working in that subject area. This way attendees can get and even more practical takeaways and best practices on issues related to your job.
To kick off this new speaker series we have the complicated subject of Oregon Veteran preference law in employment. This has been a newsworthy area as the high profile case of the Bonnevile Power Administration proved. To speak on this subject we are excited to welcome Elissa Preston, Kathy Peck, and Julie Morris.
