Featuring Keynote Speaker: Former U.S. Senator Lincoln Chafee (R-RI), Honoring: Vera Katz and Lynn Lundquist

The Oregon Business Association’s annual Statesman Dinner will be held on Monday, November 17, 2008 at the Oregon Convention Center in the Portland Ballroom. The social hour will begin at 6:00 p.m. and the dinner and program will begin at 7:00 p.m.

Senator Chafee served as a Republican Senator from Rhode Island from 1999 until 2007 and is the author of a new book titled: Against the Tide: How a Compliant Congress Empowered a Reckless President.

In honoring Vera Katz and Lynn Lundquist, OBA will recognize the “best of both worlds”, two great Oregonians who both served as Speaker of the Oregon House. Individually, as Mayor of Portland, Vera Katz represented the very best of urban leadership. As a Central Oregon rancher, legislator, retired president of OBA and current Crook County Commissioner, Lynn Lundquist continues to epitomize bi-partisan vision and leadership. Although Lynn and Vera are of different political parties, from different backgrounds, together they represent the very best of statesmanship for all of Oregon.

We expect to attract over 1000 business, political and civic leaders from across Oregon to this event. Sponsor tables seating 10, can be purchased at three price levels.

Statesman Sponsor Table: For $5,000, a Statesman Sponsor table can be purchased and will be featured in the evening’s program and on the slideshow presentation in the main ballroom. The Statesman Sponsor tables will have preferential placement in the ballroom.
