For coalitions and regional partners
You're the multiplier. This is your kit.
One prepared regional partner — a Hub, a CCR&R, a coalition, a chamber — reaches fifty employers. Everything here helps you put Oregon’s existing employer guidance in front of business leaders: map what exists, recruit founding organizations, run outreach and listening sessions, land a first win in six months, and track the actions that follow.
Get employers in the room — and keep them
The sequence that works: invite them to listen, ask them to advise, then ask them to invest. Meeting-ready kits for every stage, plus the champion kit for the CEO who says 'how can I help?'
- Outreach email sequence
- Listening session guide
- Business case one-pager
Make provider partnerships fair
Every employer deal has a supply side. Provider-facing guides, fair-terms templates, and the match conversation script — so the partnership story has two protagonists.
