PCC folks lobby for community colleges at the Capitol

Photos and story by

The man in the foreground would be our own Eddie Lincoln, who was in a hearing room at the Capitol last week to lobby for community college issues. Eddie is not only coordinator of business services at the Portland Metropolitan Workforce 欧洲杯决赛竞猜app_欧洲杯足球网-投注|官网ment Center, he’s also president of the Faculty Federation (which, yes, makes him President Lincoln, and no, I never get tired of saying that).

I’ll try to share other examples of our folks testifying or lobbying in Salem, whenever I can. We’re there a lot, and I can tell you, when a guy with the gravitas and smarts of an Eddie Lincoln speaks to lawmakers, they listen.

Cheers,

dana
