SUMMARY:Climate Change\, Culture Exchange
DESCRIPTION:Ever since the Industrial Revolution in 1760\, the carbon dioxide level has increased dramatically in an unprecedented fashion. From global temperature rise and warming oceans to shrinking ice sheets and sea level rising\, we see how Earth is changing itself to accommodate for the increasing destruction of the environment (cite). However\, from the beginning of time\, our ancestors have been very kind to Earth resulting in a variety of indigenous sustainability practices. Join us for an open discussion about climate change and how it affects our home and people as well as share ways in which your communities have sustained Earth. \nWe strive to make our events inclusive and accessible. In order to ensure that reasonable accommodations are provided in time\, please make your requests as soon as possible to piaaa@pdx.edu or (503) 725-9390. \nLocation: Pacific Islander\, Asian and Asian American Student Center (SMSU 235)

SUMMARY:Permaculture Design for Climate Resilience with Andrew Millison
DESCRIPTION:As the climate shifts around the globe\, it is increasingly important for the permaculture designer to understand global trends and incorporate sound design to mitigate negative impacts. This talk focuses on looking at scientific projections of future scenarios from the lens of several climate classification systems\, learning about analogue (similar) climates\, and determining the major design essentials for resilience to future (and present) changes. \nBy analyzing the agro-ecologies of other global locales that match our region’s climate change projections\, we are more well-equipped to assess and implement local strategies for food system adaptation and resilience. \nAbout the Presenter: \n\nAndrew Millison has been studying\, teaching and practicing Permaculture since he took his first design course in 1996. He started teaching Permaculture at the college level in 2001\, and has been an instructor at OSU in the Horticulture Department since 2009. He embedded himself within Oregon State University\, and created the first Permaculture Massive Open Online Course with over 40\,000 students. Working at a major state university\, he has worked to promote the acceptance of permaculture into a mainstream academic institution.

SUMMARY:Urban Nature Partners seeks new Board members and Advisors
DESCRIPTION:About Our Program\nUrban Nature Partners PDX empowers youth from historically marginalized Portland communities through building long term mentoring relationships and providing access to meaningful outdoor experiences. Mentor-youth activities take place in easily accessible outdoor areas in and around Portland\, are driven by the interests and abilities of each youth\, and are relevant to a young person’s culture and background. Group events include their family members so everyone gets to enjoy all that our great urban greenspaces have to offer. For more information\, go to: http://urban-nature-partners.org. \n  \nThe UNP-PDX program was started in January 2014 by Founder and Director Kristin Bowling. 46 youth in 4th-9th grades have been enrolled with mentors since spring 2014\, in 7 cohorts from Harrison Park\, Cesar Chavez\, and Harvey Scott Schools. 20 of those youth are currently enrolled and have been for between 2 months and 3 ½ years. Another annual recruitment is planned in Spring 2020\, to expand the total number of enrolled youth as well as our neighborhood reach. \n \nBoard History\nUNP-PDX was governed by an Administrative Committee for 3 years beginning in February 2016 as a consensus-based administrative support body. In February 2019\, UNP-PDX received independent 501(c)(3) status\, and transitioned to an official Board made up of 6 Directors. \n\nBoard Responsibilities  \nAs a young\, grassroots organization\, UNP-PDX requires a “working Board” to complement the work of its small staff and volunteers.  In addition to following bylaws and policies\, UNP-PDX Board members agree to the following terms: \n\nCommit to a 1-3 year term of volunteer service as a Director at an average of 10 hours per month (more or less depending on the flow of work in a member’s focus area throughout the year); report hours monthly in a timely fashion.\nAttend the majority of quarterly or bi-monthly Board meetings\, and schedule and attend work group meetings as needed with other Directors.\n\n\nProvide professional expertise and guidance to the Program Director\, Board Directors\, and other UNP-PDX volunteers and interns per each member’s knowledge and skill base\, and represent UNP-PDX professionally and proactively in the community.\n\n\nContribute a monthly donation in an amount that is meaningful to the committee member’s financial status. Help identify\, publicize and attend at least one fundraising event per year\, and help publicize and solicit individual donations and automatic giving program participation.\n\n\nBuild connections to program operations and people by attending at least one group outing per year and one mentor happy hour training per year.\n\nIn 2020\, we are especially seeking the following characteristics in new Board members:  \n\nPeople of color\, from immigrant backgrounds\, Spanish speakers\, and others who share similar demographics and life experiences with the youth and families we serve. \nA member willing to serve as Board President as the Program Director steps out of that role. \nFolks willing to put expertise in fundraising/finance\, marketing\, legal issues\, social work/youth services\, and community organizing to work for a grassroots organization!\n\n\nIn 2020\, we expect to focus on the following work in addition to ongoing tasks:  \n\nCompleting our initial Policy documents. \nAdvancing our equity work\, as a part of the Mentoring Collaborative and as an individual organization. \nSupporting program expansion to a new school or neighborhood\, including hiring additional staff support. \nContinuing to significantly increase our ratio of unrestricted funds raised. \n\nDirectors may also be asked to assist with the following: \n\nRepresent UNP-PDX at networking events and meetings; attend occasional trainings as available to enhance knowledge and skills.\nIdentify\, nominate and train new members to perpetuate the Board.\nAssist in recruiting new mentors\, Advisory Committee members\, and community partners.\nGive feedback on the work of other Board members and the Program Director\, and self-evaluate.\n\n  \nCommittee Benefits \nServing on the UNP-PDX Board of Directors provides the following benefits: \n\nThe opportunity to make a significant contribution to the growth and success of a small\, grassroots nonprofit.\nCollege credit available as desired.\nOpportunity to learn new knowledge and skills from fellow committee members; may shadow the Program Director or any member upon request.\nReferences provided for any future employment or education opportunity.\n\n  \nApplicants to the Board of Directors of Urban Nature Partners must agree to the terms and responsibilities outlined above\, as well as the Bylaws\, and sign and abide by a Conflict of Interest form.

SUMMARY:Columbia's Tim Boyle on Free Trade and Global Engagement at the Old Church
DESCRIPTION:Directly and indirectly\, Oregonians depend on free and fair trade. Whether it is Oregon farmers exporting their goods\, workers on the docks loading and unloading imported or exported cars and other products\, or innovators in the apparel and footwear industries creating the next hit for global markets\, Oregonians benefit from global engagement. \nFrom restrictions on international travel and legal immigration to tax reform to pulling back from international trade agreements\, how have the uncertainty created by recent policies effected the rules of global engagement and the ability to create economic opportunity?  What can we do to inspire a deeper investment in education at all levels so that Oregonians are prepared to understand and engage in the global economy? And how might we reinvigorate the idea that economic growth and quality of life are the direct beneficiaries of global engagement and free trade– a notion that is too often lost in political debates on all sides of the political aisle?
