Sustainability at Work awards Gold Certification to Portland Hawthorne Hostel

2012-01-30T16:56:00.000-08:00

Portland, Ore. — Hostelling International’s Portland Hawthorne Hostel has been named the third Portland business to achieve Sustainability at Work’s gold certification and is being recognized for its leadership in helping to make Portland one of the cleanest, most sustainable cities in the country. To earn this honor, Portland Hostel completed more than 88 actions to benefit our local economy, our community and our environment. These actions were verified during an on-site visit with a Sustainability at Work adviser.

Portland Hostel is committed to operations that embrace environmental, social and economic responsibility. Significant achievements in sustainability include calculating its carbon footprint and creating a reduction plan, recycling 75 percent of their waste, and composting nearly 2,100 pounds of food waste onsite annually. Most significantly, and with grant support from the City of Portland, Portland Hostel has built over 1,000 square feet of ecoroofs and permeable walls as well as an 8,000-gallon rainwater harvesting system that collects and distributes 43,000 gallons of rainwater annually to the hostel’s toilets. More than 800 community members participate in free or low-cost educational programming, events and ecotours, and guests from around the world spend a minimum of $11,500 using TriMet’s services annually.

“Congratulations to Portland Hawthorne Hostel on becoming Sustainability at Work’s third Gold Certified organization,” acknowledged Mayor Sam Adams. “We appreciate Portland Hostel’s leadership in taking concrete actions to make Portland a better place to live and work, and hope that their achievement inspires other businesses to make innovative changes that improve profitability and sustainability.”

2012 OMHOF MUSIC SCHOLARSHIPS

2012-01-30T13:26:00.000-08:00

The Oregon Music Hall of Fame grants music scholarships each year to a crop of Oregon High School Seniors, to continue their studies at the college level. In the last five years, 30 scholarships have helped out students from all over the state. Vocalist Emma Davis from West Linn is using that scholarship at Emerson College in Boston, while Central Catholic percussionist, Alex McDougall is attending the University of North Texas as a jazz studies major. Cellist Jean Choi is using the OMHOF scholarship at Amherst, flutist Emily Potter at Boston University and violinist Jasmine Terry-Shindelman of Ashland is studying music at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine.

The Oregon Music Hall Of Fame strives each year to set up funding methods for such awards, and continually seeks to recognize the best, brightest and most influential musicians that Oregon has to offer. It's a scrutinizing task, as this year OMHOF's board selected these five exceptionally gifted Oregon High School Seniors, out of 120 applicants, to accept monetary gifts toward scholarship in their various endeavors. Ultimately, the goal is not only to increase the dollar amount to future selected winners, but to also increase the monetary amounts each and every year through different means.

The deadline for the 2012 OMHOF Scholarship awards is February 10^th. For all those interested, please check the Hall of Fame website (http://omhof.org/) or board member, Janeen Rundle (janeen@omhof.org).

The Growth of The Relationship Marketing Industry

2011-11-14T10:40:00.000-08:00

Relationship sales and marketing using the Internet has become one of the fastest and most effective ways to develop new customers, whether a business thrives on multiple sales or just one sale per day. But nearly every company I review is missing the mark and needs to make changes if this new method is going to bear financial fruit for their enterprise.
