Business Oregon's UAS Industry survey identified more than forty companies with a combined employment of more than 1,000 in Oregon. Based on the survey's results, an economic input-output model (IMPLAN) was used to estimate the direct, indirect, and induced economic impacts on the state’s economy. The UAS sector is projected to grow at an annual rate of 14% to 20% annually over the next decade across the US. Oregon can take specific steps to be ready for this growth and take advantage of the significant increase in drone commerce. Read the full report here.

Inclusion That Moves You
This DEI Lunch & Learn session brings a heart-centered approach to DEIA. Disability is the one minority group that anyone can enter at any given time. Yet, disability is often either forgotten or mentioned last in the conversation of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Led by Marisa Hamamoto, founder of Infinite Flow, a professional dance company that employs disabled and nondisabled dancers with diverse, intersectional identities with a mission to dismantle biases and promote inclusion, and joined by a few Infinite Flow artists, this will be a soul-filling conversation destigmatizing and demystifying disability, and how each of us can be an ally to one another.
