“ I love my job!” Lynn has said that no less than 1000 times since she became the CEO in 2015. At the October Board meeting, Lynn announced she will be leaving the Chamber in 2022. She is NOT retiring (that’s for old people, she says.) Her desire is for the new CEO to come with new ideas, goals, energy and a strong commitment to the region. The chamber has been and will continue to be the influential and the committed voice of and for business. The exact timing of her departure has not been determined. |

6 LESSER-KNOWN WATERFALLS
It would be easy to believe that the only place to discover stunning waterfalls in Oregon is the Columbia River Gorge — it’s home to dozens of falls cascading off basalt cliffs. Spectacular waterfalls can be found in the Central Cascades and Coast Range — in the high desert, Oregon Coast and North Umpqua canyon — on trails and viewpoints where solitude is the norm and crowds are the exception. Heck, even the Gorge has a few secrets if you know where to look.
