Sworn into office in 2011, Metro Councilor Shirley Craddick represents District 1, which includes Fairview, Gresham, Troutdale, Wood Village, portions of East Portland and the unincorporated communities of Damascus and Boring.
Councilor Craddick came into office with a set of goals for District 1 that she has worked to achieve throughout her time as Metro Councilor. Her goals center on increasing economic prosperity in the eastern part of the region while protecting natural areas and the environment, increasing jobs, and fostering vibrant and active town centers. She would also like to see District 1 have an enhanced voice at the regional table and help jurisdictions work together to achieve their aspirations.
Shirley served as lead Metro Councilor for the East Metro Connections plan, where she helped her district prioritize a set of transportation projects that will contribute to each jurisdiction’s economic and community development goals. She will also be working on the continued development of the Intertwine, the region’s integrated network of natural areas, parks and trails. In her capacity as Metro Councilor she serves on the Joint Policy Advisory Committee on Transportation (JPACT), the Oregon Zoo Foundation Board, Nature in Neighborhoods capital grants selection committee, the Travel Portland board, Levee Ready Columbia and several other committees. She has lived in Gresham since 1979 with her husband Dick, where they raised two daughters.

Morning Networking event at Gresham ReStore
2018-03-21 07:30 - 09:00
Gresham ReStore will be our host for March AM Networking
610 NE 181st Ave, Gresham, OR 97230
(503) 575-7336
7:30am to 9am

The Habitat for Humanity ReStore accepts donated new and used building materials, furniture, appliances, lighting fixtures and other home goods, and we sell them in our stores to raise money for Habitat home-building projects. In fact, this past year we took in 40,151 donations from individuals and business partners.
Our stores in Portland, Gresham, Beaverton and Vancouver support three Habitat affiliates: Portland/Metro East, Willamette West, and Evergreen. In the past three years, we raised enough money to build just under 40 Habitat homes in partnership with low-income families.
The ReStore is also big into reuse. Over the past three years we diverted 17,948 tons of reusable materials from landfills–and we’re working to improve that number. Our shoppers are some of the most creative on the planet. We love how they re-think, re-imagine and re-invent with used materials. Of course we have to heap praise and appreciation on our generous donors and business partners and our amazing team of volunteers who clocked over 58,000 hours this past year. Together we’re helping to make the dream of homeownership a reality for hardworking families right here.

Join us every 3rd Wednesday per month for a fun morning of networking with your fellow members and guests!
One of the benefits of your membership is participating in AM Networking Meetings, either by attending or by hosting where you will rub elbows with some of the nicest business people in the West Columbia Gorge at various business locations!
When you host an AM, you are the focus of the morning, and you get a chance to showcase your business establishment. When you attend an AM, you have the opportunity to introduce yourself and your guest(s), as well as bring your best marketing materials to hand out. Announcement time allows you to tell the group what specials or other news you have to share.
If you are interested in hosting then please let us know: info@westcolumbiagorgechamber.com or call# 503-669-7473!
