See attached Exhibit A. As part of that mission, OWLS and CWL endeavor to provide quality continuing legal education ("CLE") seminars for lawyers to help fulfill the Oregon State Bar requirement for Access tc. Justice, formerly elimination of bias, credit. Dr. Donna Beegle has a Ph.D in education and speaks all over the nation on the subject of the Culture of Poverty. Her home office, however, is in Portland, Oregon. Her three-hour seminar, Poverty 101 (See Exhibit B), qualifies for the Access to Justice CLE and CWL wants to be able to provide such a CLE here in Bend for Central Oregon Lawyers. CWL, however, wants to not only assist in the education of local lawyers, but intends to open the invitation to the seminar to state and local government and non-profit providers of services to the poor, such as the Women's Resource Center, CASA and Housing Works. CWL's goal for the seminar is to provide education for lawyers and other service providers to understand why the poor behave as they do in order that the service providers can better provide services and help the poor break their cycles ( f poverty and develop their own economic stability. CWL will also attempt to arrange for each of the service providers to set-up displays for participants to view before and after the seminar and during th break. Dr. Beegle offered her services to CWL on March 10, 2009 from 9:00 to 12:00 at nearly half her normal rate because she will already be in Bend for two other organizations that day and the next. Additionally, while CWL has to pay for a hotel room for Dr. Beegle for the night before and for breakfast and lunch the day of the seminar, CWL can share the cost of the airfare and a rental car with Central Oregon Community College and Partnership Against Poverty. As of yet, CWL does not have a location for the seminar but is likely to either use the sanctuary at the First Presbyterian Church of Bend or rent a room at the Central Oregon Community College. If facilities must be rented, that will be an additional cost to those estimate expenses listed below. In addition to Dr. Beegle's costs, CWL will be mailing a single page flyer and registration form to all the lawyers in Central Oregon and provide the flyers to the various county and state human services agencies and to the various non-profit organizations that provide services to the poor. With the advertisement to the service providers and the lawyers, CWL estimates that 200 people will attend the seminar. The announcement/registration flyer, along with the course materials will include notation, on the cover or the first inside page of all sponsors for the seminars. The course materials could also include any logos or other larger sized advertisements the sponsors want to be included. Furthermore, any introductions at the seminar will include the announcement of the sponsors. CWL would also be open to discussing other conditions the County may wish to impose upon the acceptance of the grant funds, CWL Lottery Grant Applicatii )n Page 1 Oregon Women Lawyers - Mission http://www.oregonwomenlawyers.org/who_weare/ HOME WHO WE ARE MEMBERSHIP EVENTS AWARDS SERVICES CHAPTERS Mission History Board of Directors Past Presidents Staff Chapters Volunteers DragonFlies OWLS Foundation Mission Oregon Women Lawyers mission and purpose The Oregon Women Lawyers mission is to transform the practice of law and ensure justice and equality by advancing women and minorities in the legal profession. With over 1200 members, Oregon Women Lawyers (OWLS) helps hundreds of women attorneys create valuable professional networks and warm friendships. Cur networking and leadership gatherings provide contacts and information to a wide range of legal professionals: experienced attorneys seeking to polish their leadership skills, newer attorneys looking for mentors and assistance, targe firm attorneys navigating a culture biased toward a traditionally male model of success, and sole practitioners seeking referrals and connections. Although great gains have been made since women first started practicing law, there is still not a level ploying field for women. While equal numbers of men and women have been graduating from law schools for nearly two decades, the percentage of women in management positions, firm partnerships, judicial seals, and political appointments remains much, much smaller. OWLS works to close these gaps.

Beegle Our mission is simple, but has far reaching implications: to improve communication and relationships across poverty, race, gender, and generational barriers. About Dr. Beegle Donna M. Beegle, Ed.D. is a highly experienced National public speaker, discussion leader, trainer, and the author of "See Poverty, Be The Difference," a resource book for professionals who work with people in poverty. Donna has worked and written articles providing insights and strategies for communicating more effectively across race, class, gender and generational barriers for 17 years. Donna's inspiring story and work have been featured in newspapers around the nation, on local TV and on National programs such as PBS. Her work on poverty is being featured in a Documentary titled: Invisible Nation (air time to be announced). Donna has worked with educators, justice professionals, health care providers, social service agencies, and other organizations all over the nation who want to make a difference for those living in the crisis of poverty. Donna is the only member of her family who has not been incarcerated. After growing up in generational migrant labor poverty, leaving school for marriage at 15, having two children and continuing to cope with poverty, she found herself, at 25, with no husband, little education, and no job skills. What followed in 10 short years were: self-confidence, a G.E.D., an A.A. in Journalism, a B.A. (with honors) in Communications, a Master's Degree in Communication with a minor In Gender Studies (with honors), and completion of a Doctorate Degree. Donna completed her Doctorate in Educational Leadership at Portland State University in 2000, where she taught speech communication courses for eight years. She is currently president of Communication Across Barriers, a consulting firm devoted to improving communication and relationships. Donna is also founder and CEO of the new nonprofit, PovertyBridge which is dedicated to changing lives for people in poverty. Donna is available for workshops, curriculum development, organizational development and planning, and inspirational keynote presentations. n ................ .................

What does it mean to be from poverty and go to school in America? Through sharing her journey out of generational poverty, findings from her doctoral research on generational poverty, successful completion of a Bachelor's degree, and fifteen years of working in schools struggling with educating students from poverty, Donna Beegle frames the discussion of how to successfully engage students and families from generational poverty in the education process.
