Celebrating Women In Our Community
These two women take their responsibility seriously as do many women leaders. Superintendents Dr. A. Katrise Perera and Dr. Danna Diaz of Gresham Barlow School District and Reynolds School District know the impact that responsibility has on the lives of children.
Successful women in a male dominated industry. Lila Leathers, Leathers Fuel and Karen Johnston, All About Automotive, are just two great examples of women in our Chamber. They are making a difference in their industry and by actively engaging in local efforts for students.
The Gresham area voters elected women leaders to local city and county positions. Examples of those leaders are Metro Councilor Shirley Craddick, Gresham City Councilor Janine Gladfelter, and Multnomah County Commissioner Lori Stegmann.

What are the best emergency items to carry in your vehicle?
A good emergency kit is invaluable for safety. In can be helpful in an emergency, a breakdown situation or in an accident. Jumper cables, jump start box, flares, flashlight, reflective gear or signs, gloves, blanket, small fire extinguisher, glass breaker with a seat belt cutter and a first aid kit along with some water and dried food nourishment. Being prepared is always a smart move!
We all want to help care for our personal items after a fire, but here are a few things you should not do-
  • Don't attempt to wash any walls or painted surfaces.
  • Don't attempt to clean any electrical appliances that may have been close to fire, heat or water without consulting an authorized repair service.
  • Don't attempt to shampoo carpet or upholstery with out contacting us.

If you’ve ever been hesitant about taking a long road trip with young kids (and what parent or grandparent hasn’t?), just check out @2TravelDads on Instagram. Rob and Chris Taylor’s enthusiasm for trekking with their sons, Oliver (7) and Elliott (4), is downright infectious. They leave no stone unturned, no bug unexamined, no question unanswered.
