Cascade Policy Institute Marks 35th Anniversary of Bold Policy Leadership
Oregon’s premier public policy think tank celebrates major milestone with Portland event
Portland, Ore. — Oregon’s leading public policy think tank is marking a major milestone. Cascade Policy Institute celebrates 35 years of bold policy leadership on October 1st with a premier anniversary event to recognize more than three decades of advancing practical solutions to Oregon’s biggest challenges.
Cascade’s 35th Anniversary Dinner will be held at the Portland Sentinel Hotel, starting at 5:30 pm.* The keynote address from Kimberley Strassel, Wall Street Journal columnist, New York Times bestselling author, and Oregon native, promises energy, insight, and a personal connection. For more details go to CascadePolicy.org.
For the past 35 years, Cascade has been dedicated to solid independent research, public education, and legislative analysis that helps turn sound ideas into meaningful action. For example, Cascade was instrumental in getting Oregon’s landmark 1999 charter school law adopted by the Oregon legislature.
“Cascade believes Oregonians deserve more than political talking points,” said prominent economist and Cascade Board Chair Bill Conerly, Ph.D. “Our team ‘walks the talk’ with real-world initiatives that improve lives across the state.”
“Cascade’s mission has been to advance Oregon’s promise, the one pioneers came here to find: freedom and economic opportunity,” said John Charles, Cascade Policy President and CEO. “Our work promotes free-market solutions that expand opportunity, encourage innovation, strengthen accountability, and reduce unnecessary government intrusion into the lives of Oregonians.”
Cascade empowers individuals, policy leaders, and the media with information, testimony, and policy solutions. Issues range from promoting education choice to expanding new electricity generating facilities.
