Commentary

WHY ARE ALL YOUR EVENTS IN PORTLAND?  THIS IS NOT THE PORTLAND COUNCIL FOR THE HUAMNITIES, IS IT?  VERY SADDENED BY YOUR NEW DIRECTION.

DIANE ALLEN | 28 Sep at 09:07 AM

Diane and others:

Please check out Programs section of the website for information on statewide programs.  Oregon Humanities programs continue to reach every county in the state of Oregon. And there is nothing in our direction to support or suggest any change to our commitment to statewide mission or programming.  Thanks!
