Monthly Meeting

Our monthly meetings are normally held on the fourth Thursday of the month, with exceptions due to holidays: the November meeting is on the third Thursday, and there is no monthly meeting in December. Meetings are held in person and online via Zoom. Members will be informed of the meeting location by email; non-members should contact Leadership [at] MultnomahARES [dot] org for details.

Our meetings typically run from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM, and consist of a short introduction and updates from our Emergency Coordinator and other members of the leadership team, followed by a training session or presentation relevant to our role as emergency communicators. Meeting dates and training topics can be found on our calendar.

If you are interested in seeing what we’re all about, and maybe even becoming a member, please come early for the Q&A session and meet with our leadership team. We would love to tell you about what we do, how we support our community, and why we need you to be part of the Multnomah County ARES team!
