Share Your Thoughts, and a Cup of Coffee, With Us

You pick the topic of conversation, but some of our favorites include trade, job creation, industry, freight, environmental stewardship and economic development.

Hoping for mornings filled with lively dialogue over cups of delicious coffee, Port of Vancouver Commissioners Jerry Oliver, Brian Wolfe and Nancy Baker are hosting nine “Commissioner Coffees” this spring and early summer, and the public is encouraged to attend. Commissioners are taking turns visiting local coffee shops within the port district in an effort to meet with constituents, answer questions, and share ideas related to port projects and plans–all over complimentary cups of coffee of course.

Community members also will be invited to take an informal survey aimed at collecting input on current and future port activities.  Those not able to attend a coffee visit are encouraged to participate in the survey by clicking here.
