Keynote Presentation:U.S. Congressman Kurt Schrader, representing Oregon’s 5th District
Congressman Kurt Schrader is currently serving his second term in the United States House of Representatives. He represents Oregon’s 5th Congressional District which includes all of Marion, Polk, Lincoln, and Tillamook Counties, as well as the bulk of Clackamas and small portions of Multnomah and Benton Counties. Before being elected to Congress, Schrader was a farmer and veterinarian for over thirty years.
Schrader was appointed to the Canby Planning Commission in 1981 where he worked on land use issues for the growing community in southern Clackamas County. In 1996 he was elected to the Oregon State House of Representatives. In the Oregon House he served as a member of the Joint Ways & Means Committee. In 2001, Congressman Schrader was one of five legislators asked by their peers to guide Oregon through the worst budget crisis since the depression. In 2003, he was elected to the Oregon State Senate and was immediately appointed to chair the Joint Ways & Means Committee. He continued to serve in that capacity until he was elected to Congress in 2008.
Congressman Schrader currently serves as a member of the House Committee on Agriculture, House Committee on Small Business, and serves as ranking member of the House Small Business Subcommittee on Finance and Tax.
Schrader also chairs the Blue Dog’s Task Force on Fiscal Responsibility and the New Democrat Coalition’s Health Care Reform Task force.

Capital Projects and The Oregon University System: The Road Ahead…
sponsored by CAF – The Union Contractors of AGC
Legislative scrutiny of OUS capital construction projects increased significantly last legislative session as that state made its transition to annual legislative sessions and Oregon approaches its limits of bonding capacity. That means business as usual in Salem has changed and that OUS capital projects will be subject to thorough legislative analysis going forward.
Learn from two of OUS highest ranking officials and a representative from Oregon State University’s capital projects office concerning OUS public contracting procedures, current status of projects in play, capital projects on the horizon and future of public contracting at Oregon’s seven four-year institutions.
Panel Members: Jay Kenton, Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration, Oregon University System; Hillary Bounds, Director of Contracting and Purchasing, Oregon University Systems; and Lori Fulton, Project Manager, Oregon State University
