Local Mentors for Young Professionals!

The Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce Young Professionals Network is offering a  free mentorship program aimed at helping local young professionals get a leg up in their career or chosen profession.

We have local mentors with years of excellent professional experience ready to dive in. If you are looking to advance in your current profession or start a new career, you could benefit from your own personal mentor!

How it works:

We will match you with a mentor based on the information you provide (see below). You and your mentor will work together toward your goals over a period of 90 days. We’ll keep in touch with your progress along the way and meet with you at the end of 90 days to evaluate success.

Here are some results participants experienced:

•   Found the “right” mentor through the process

Tell your legislators to oppose Senate bill 5871, which would change the non-resident sales tax exemption so that out-of-state consumers, primarily from Oregon, would be forced to apply for a rebate of sales taxes instead of getting the sales tax exemption at the time of purchase. This procedural change would discourage enough shoppers to effectively act as a repeal. Read More
