PROJECT NAME: 1,000 Days Economic Roadmap PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Grant will assist in the implementation of specific strategies of the six initial initiatives culminating in a community event — The 100 Day Action Summit, where the teams will report their progress and recommend implementation of one or more specific strategy. PROJECT PERIOD: June 1- October 2011 AMOUNT OF REQUEST: $ 5,000 PREVIOUS GRANTS: • November 2010: Economic Roadmap $2,000 ( $1,000 Unger, $500 Luke, $500 Baney) OVERVIEW OF DESCHUTES ECONOMIC ALLIANCE The Deschutes Economic Alliance (DEA) is a grassroots effort organized by a diverse group of local, private -sector business and community leaders who seek an objective, coherent vision for the economic future of Deschutes County. This group is led by an executive board of dedicated community and business people whose purpose is to create an economic community that is sustainable, diverse and global. DEA was formed in 2010 to identify and launch specific initiatives to help grow and stabilize the region and to eliminate the low expectations of "poverty with a view'. Job growth and reduction in the unemployment rate is a very specific goal. We can and will create new opportunities for Central Oregon. In January of 2011, the DEA joined the Economic Forecast Project and brought globally recognized economic developer, Dr. Delore Zimmerman to Bend for the CERF/Roadmap Conference. At the conference Dr. Zimmerman from Praxis Strategy group presented a 1000 Day Road Map to Economic Recovery. Nearly 400 people participated in the broad based conference and over 150 people signed up to work on specific initiatives to bring about "possibility thinking" and specific job growth initiatives through the implementation of the 1000 day Road Map. As of June, 2011 teams are functioning to address the first three initiatives. Those teams are DURT (delay, uncertainty, regulation and Taxes), the Elite Athletic Initiative and the University and Applied Research and Creative Activities Center. The DEA Executive board is also launching the Systems Built Housing initiative and implementing the Warm Springs Partnership Initiative as well as a Regional Roundtable. All three of these are in the final stages of their first meeting. The purpose of this grants request is to support the efforts of those six teams and guide them successfully to a 100 day Action Summit in the October time period. Specific measureable activities are as follows: • Six Teams each have specific objectives and Missions which will lead to job creation and attraction of industry clusters. This grant will assist in expenses of investigation of opportunities, implementation of specific strategies as well as expenses related to teams in meetings, printing, communication, mailing, etc. (Example: The elite athletic team may require correspondence expense and visits to create a specific outcome for an athletic training facility or research facility that will attract a world class training program for Central Oregon.) • The 100 Day Action Summit is a specific event with reportable actionable items to be reported by the six team initiatives. Local volunteers will coordinate and produce this event. The Grant will assist in payment for rooms, refreshment, audio visual and overall expenses of holding this community event. Specific actionable items will be presented by each team and recommendations of further action or investigation will be presented by each group. It is estimated that costs around this event will be in the range of $3,000- $5,000. Donations and in-kind donations are expected as well. The purpose of this grant is to support the work of the six teams and a specific outcomes based Action Summit community event where steps to job creation are outlined. If awarded, the project will be implemented immediately. Thousands of hours of volunteer time has and will be invested in the progress of the DEA with the specific goal of creating a High Performance Community. We cannot afford to just wait for a recovery of wood products, tourism and housing. We must take action to re-create our economy and foster new job growth. Our focus and vision is to "create Central Oregon as a thriving economic community, globally connected, a place where things work". Working in partnership with all players and utilizing all skill -sets and perspectives, the outcome for Deschutes County's economic health will be immeasurable. Our current fund raising strategy is being implemented and is being supported by wide community and business support. From donated office space, printing to meeting events sponsored free of charge to actual checks, we have wide funding support going into our 100 day event. Organizational development and funding strategies are in place to support our 1000 day effort and will include grants, community fundraising and business partnerships.
