SVPP News - Partner Gathering, New Website, New Report

(From the October 2006)

Partners Enjoy Summer Gathering
Picture a typical fantastic Portland summer day coupled with a superb view of downtown Portland, the Willamette River and the mountains. This was the setting for SVPP's summer gathering on July 29 at the home of Bruce Murray and Valerie Ilsley where partners and friends enjoyed excellent catered food and beverages. The event was well attended and provided an excellent opportunity to meet new people, catch up with each other's lives and just a have a relaxed Portland summer afternoon. Many thanks to Bruce and Valerie for hosting this event.

New SVPP Website
The new SVPP website was launched after extensive modifications to provide a much more exciting experience. A lot of effort was devoted to give the visitor "the SVPP story" with a better explanation of how SVPP works and the impact we have had on the organizations in which we have invested over the last five years. Visit SVP Portland to experience our new website if you haven't already done so. Special thanks go to Partner Megan Leftwich for her painstaking attention to detail during the review process of the new content and for managing the transition to the new website.

SVPP New Report Available
For the past months, Partner Valerie Ilsley led an effort to develop a comprehensive report on SVPP covering our mission, investments and performance. This report, titled SVPP Organization Summary – Investments and Performance, is being distributed to all partners and is an excellent vehicle to not only learn about SVPP's impact over the last five years and future direction, but also serves as a great tool to introduce SVPP to potential new partners. It will also be used to present SVPP to other local organizations and future fundraising efforts. If you would like additional copies of this report, please contact the SVPP office.
