Literary Arts Campaign Cabinet

Chair
“I have loved and supported Literary Arts for a long time. Now I am pleased to support The Campaign for Literary Arts to fund a permanent home for Literary Arts, establish a writers’ residency in Ursula K. Le Guin’s home, and to secure the future of Literary Arts. This is my first ever Capital Campaign and I am so proud of what we have accomplished so far. I am honored to be part of the community that supports the mission of Literary Arts. Like you, I have confidence that this work will benefit future generations of Oregonians.”
