In my job, I work with many people. Of course there are my co-workers, people who give us money, foundation representatives and agency partners. There are also our elected officials, whom I have mentioned on occasion in this blog.
On January 13th, I was thrilled to be in attendance at the Oregon Alliance of Children’s Programs‘ Children’s Champion Luncheon. Every year, this organization (of which The Next Door is a member) recognizes officials who are champions for children. This year, they recognized Oregon State Representative John Huffman from District 59 (The Dalles). Rep Huffman is always available to talk to me about issues of concern. He is genuinely interested and works hard for children and families. Hooray for John Huffman!
