Healthy Democracy Oregon welcomes Jack Roberts to the Advisory Board

We're pleased to announce that Jack Roberts, former State Labor Commissioner, and current Executive Director of the Lane Metro Partnership has joined Healthy Democracy Oregon's Advisory Board.

Roberts brings a wealth of knowledge and a keen understanding of Oregon politics to an already stellar Advisory Board, and is looking forward to making a positive contribution to the CIR project.

Roberts grew up in Eugene, where he graduated from the University of Oregon School of Journalism and the University of Oregon Law School.  After ten years as an attorney in private practice, Jack was first appointed and then twice elected to the Lane County Board of Commissioners.  In 1994, he was elected state labor commissioner, an office to which he was reelected in 1998.

Jack has been the Executive Director for Lane Metro Partnership since 2003.  In this role, Jack provides the leadership necessary for economic development efforts throughout Lane County.  As director of this organization his primary focus is on fostering business investment through recruitment, retention and expansion.  The Lane Metro Partnership is helping to create new job opportunities for our citizens and a more diverse and stable economy.

Jack and his wife, Tammy, live in Eugene with their three sons, John, Joe and Jake.

The Healthy Democracy team is glad to have his support and guidance.
