“Clackamas County was a fantastic host! They addressed all relevant topics and helped me brainstorm solutions. The cohort was also very helpful. We received valuable feedback on data, policy, and logistics. I believe this was a GREAT use of time, and I truly appreciate it. I feel much more confident now than when I arrived.”
