Christian Chamber - Greater Portland "Lunch & Learn"
Many agencies roll up their shirt sleeves every day to relieve the plight of homeless men, women, and children in the Metro area as there is great need. The movement to restore dignity and break systemic issues that lead to homelessness is growing. We invite you to join the conversation that will both challenge and debunk some common assumptions and put faces with stories, to humanize this population. We expect your heart might be stirred to be part of this movement of individual and city transformation.

Our special guest speaker for November is Rob Howells, Director of Development for the Union Gospel Mission leading an interactive conversation to demystify the common stereotypes attributed to our street friends. Bring a colleague, customer or friend!
In 2007, Rob joined UGM after beginning his non-profit work as Director of Development at a private high school in Lake Oswego, OR in 2002. Rob's business and marketing background began with Bank of America and ended with Intel Corporation. Rob has held the roles of Regional Manager, General Manager, CFO & VP of Marketing with a variety of firms. Rob enjoys using his business expertise and experience in service to UGM.
A Portland native, Rob attended Lewis & Clark College and graduated with a business degree in Marketing. He has since earned numerous certifications and pursued education to further his expertise. Rob met his wife at Lewis & Clark; together they have two children & make the Pearl Church their spiritual home. Rob's hobbies are skiing, hospitality & home remodeling.
