Review for Oregon Rural Action Inc, La Grande, OR, USA
Oregon Rural Action (ORA) is the go-to organization when a community in Eastern Oregon finds itself with an issue that isn't being resolved through the usual local government channels. ORA also collaborates with other like-minded organizations in the Northwest to get state level actions and legislation that have a positive effect for rural communities. ORA also partners with it's sister organizations under the Western Organization of Resource Councils umbrella to effect national actions and legislation that have impacts on the rural communities of Western United States.The ORA staff is probably the most effective group of people working for a non-profit that I have ever had the pleasure to work with. They have increased the membership by relativly large numbers in this sparsley populated region and increased the local funding well beyond the goals set by the board.
