Evento virtual el lunes 9 de diciembre
Únete a nosotros!
We welcomed 171 nonprofits, public agencies, tribes, collaboratives, funders and more over three resource-filled and relationship-fueled days.
Together, we shared insights and experiences relating to over two dozen interconnected topics ranging from community land trusts to federal resources to childcare – and so much more. We also had opportunities to strengthen networks (quite literally exchanging contact information as the start of an awesome statewide phone tree…), shared challenges, and worked through solutions.
Several measures were taken to keep the event accessible and inclusive.
“The most profound aspect of the conference was being in the same room with so many people who have been on this wildfire recovery journey for the past several years. The folks in attendance were such a clear cross-sector representation of resilience work - food systems, Tribal and Indigenous land management, disaster philanthropy, policy and legislation, community wildfire protection, mental health and wellbeing. These are all important and interrelated aspects of resilience work, but this is truly the first time I have seen folks from all these areas of work brought together in one place. The panels were excellent but as usual it was the productive side conversations and spontaneous networking where the magic really happened.
[What set this conference apart was]…this conference lifted up the stories of grassroots organizations and networks that have been "boots on the ground" since day one (or before day one).”

“Every attendee had something to share and some reason to be there, and I could really sense that energy when I met with folks. I could tell it wasn't just a conference that their organization asked them to attend and they begrudgingly traveled to Sunriver. Everyone seemed genuinely excited to be there and were engaged throughout the summit which was amazing to experience. It always pains me to have to decide which presentation to go to when there are multiple ones at the same time, so I appreciated that everything and everyone was all in the same room throughout the duration of the summit.”

“What I liked is that it wasn't just a bunch of government agencies talking about all the good things they have done or could do for you lol. The session where we got up and networked was really cool. All workshops have "networking" but it is on breaks or during lunch...and everyone stays with the[ir] friends. This forced us to go outside of our bubble and at least say hi to someone new whether we see/talk to them again or not. [What set it apart was] A lot more relaxed atmosphere. Much wider audience demographics than "traditional" conferences.”

“I attended a lot of academic conferences in my career as a professor. A few things that were different about this one. I loved the spiritual component of the conference -- the Indigenous opening each day, the keynote speaker and his workshop. The food was fantastic, and seemed to have been chosen with a concern for healthy options. Having the escape room was a fun break -- I had not done that before. I liked the choice to move from one session directly into another -- people could choose when they took breaks. I think that the breaks in other conferences cause a break in the momentum.”

“I appreciated the level of humor and authenticity of the event. Folks seemed intent on learning from each other without challenging each other in unproductive ways.I enjoyed the many different topics that were presented. The hosts were welcoming and accommodating.”
- State agency
“The topics were so well rounded and interesting! The open nature of the presentations/engagement with audience was unique as well (not just presented at, but involved in). The focus on community/story/connection not just "experts"

La primera mitad de nuestra conferencia está dedicada a las "Reflexiones", que servirán para hacer un balance colectivo de las catástrofes y los esfuerzos de recuperación de los últimos años, empezando por los incendios de "Labor Day" de 2020. En medio del intercambio de ideas, historias y demás, reflexionaremos sobre las lecciones aprendidas, celebraremos los éxitos e identificaremos áreas de mejora en nuestra respuesta y recuperación. Estas reflexiones no son sólo un lugar para aprender y establecer contactos, sino también para sanar y procesar las experiencias individuales, con talleres centrados en la sanación y conocimientos especializados sobre la salud mental en respuesta al trabajo de recuperación y la experiencia del desastre. Estas sesiones ofrecerán inspiración y conexión entre unos y otros, los mayores recursos de nuestro estado. Con "Iniciadores de conversación", nuevas asociaciones y herramientas prácticas, podemos llevar esto de vuelta a nuestras comunidades individuales con acceso a expertos. Todos podemos llevar estas relaciones e información de vuelta a nuestras comunidades con el objetivo de sanar y promover la resiliencia.
En la segunda mitad de la conferencia, nos centraremos en los "Horizontes", trazando el camino hacia la creación de resiliencia para el futuro. Mientras exploramos los modelos actuales y compartimos aplicaciones del mundo real, aprenderemos de los expertos al tiempo que nos conectamos con recursos prácticos y tangibles para llevarlos a las comunidades a las que servimos. Imaginamos un futuro en el que las comunidades de Oregón puedan mitigar, recuperar y superar mejor las catástrofes. No podemos evitar las catástrofes, pero podemos fortalecer y promover un frente unido, empezando por conectarnos entre nosotros.
Organizado por cinco organizaciones principales con perspectivas únicas sobre la recuperación y la resistencia ante catástrofes y con el apoyo de docenas de socios de todo el estado.
Un dicho muy repetido es "las catástrofes empiezan y acaban localmente". Esto sigue siendo cierto, y las organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro locales por lo general son "las primeras en llegar y las últimas en salir" cuando se trata de catástrofes. El evento se centrará principalmente en estas organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro y comunitarias, que son las primeras en llegar y las expertas que atienden a sus comunidades en las horas, días y años posteriores a una catástrofe. Somos conscientes de que para responder efectivamente a las catástrofes, recuperarse de ellas y prevenirlas es necesario coordinar con todos los sectores, y por lo tanto esperamos dar la bienvenida a agencias del sector público, organizaciones filantrópicas, residentes de la comunidad, grupos regionales y nacionales, y muchos otros aliados y amigos. Todos podemos seguir aprendiendo mucho entre nosotros mientras avanzamos hacia un Oregón más resiliente.
