Our board works closely with over 60 lead partners, representing the private, public and non-profit sectors. Our task: facilitate, network, endorse and periodically, fundraise, bringing the vision to life! To date, over 76% of the action items identified in the Vision are being worked on or have been successfully achieved through collaborative and meaningful partnerships. Our Mission: Inspiring, guiding and strengthening partnerships that make our community's vision a reality Keeping Bend an amazing place to live! The "Passport to the Future" town hall is an invitation to the community to check up on the Bend 2030 Vision. The event has three major themes: 1. An update on current Vision initiatives, featuring Lead Partners from each focus area: * Deschutes Land Trust, with an update on Skyline Forest * City of Bend, Bend Neighborhood Associations * Deschutes County * Commute Options, Citizens for Bend Area Transit * Housing Works, and affordable housing efforts * Deschutes National Forest 2.

How does "Passport to the Future" impact economic health of the region? The "Passport to the Future" community forum is an important step in furthering the work of Bend 2030. Specifically, the Vibrant Economy section of the Vision addresses economic development, business infrastructure, workforce and sustainable industry initiatives through 62 different actions that various agencies, private industry and non- profit organizations have agreed to execute. (Please reference enclosed Vision document beginning on page 16.) Sustainable economic outcomes result from well-informed planning and broad community support.
