The Portland Society

Are you noticing a pattern here?  Lots of smart women writing books about cycling.  That’s just the tip of the iceberg.  There’s an entire society of savvy women in Portland who are making things happen.  It’s called the Portland Society.

Whether you are a business owner, employee, independent contractor, creative entrepreneur, or student, the Portland Society provides an opportunity to create connections.

The Portland Society holds its monthly meeting at 8am the first Wednesday of the month.
