FOR MORE THAN 15 YEARS, the Portland Business Forum has provided a unique opportunity for business owners and managers to continue their business education while creating a supportive environment in which to build their companies through networking. Our primary opportunity for involvement is our weekly breakfast forum, and we also participate in occasional events sponsored by other groups, including the quarterly Lake Oswego Economic Forums, and hold a few social events per year.  The group gives back to the community by providing annual scholarships to college-bound high school students who are interested in business.

Weekly breakfasts
Are you looking for a good source of referrals for your business? Would you like to meet others who have learned how to build their companies through successful networking? If so, we invite you to check out the next weekly breakfast meeting of the Portland Business Forum. 

We use this time to refer business to each other, talk about current projects, listen to a guest speaker, and update our members on developments affecting the business climate.  As a networking organization, the weekly forum needs members who are committed to building business through referrals. We’re  looking for people who are seeking new clients and are willing to commit to regular attendance at a weekly breakfast. Membership in the weekly forum is by  application and is limited to one representative per occupation. PBF encourages prospective members to attend at least three weekly meetings prior to  submitting an application for membership.
In addition to networking and referrals, we also help our members resolve problems. Our monthly “round table” sessions give members a chance to share  how they tackle some of their most difficult business issues. These discussions are provocative and enlightening, always with one purpose: to help each  other improve the way we do business. 

Join us!
If sharing ideas, referrals, and stimulating conversation with like-minded professionals sounds like good business to you, we invite you to join us for one of our weekly breakfasts. We think you’ll find it’s the best investment of time you can make to help your  business grow.

We look forward to meeting you!
 
Weekly Breakfasts are held every Wednesday, 7:30-8:30 am at Hayden’s Lakefront Grill, 8187 SW Tualatin-Sherwood Rd., Tualatin, OR  97062
