Our Great
Partnerships
KEEP LAKE OSWEGO GREAT! One of the great things about Lake Oswego is the
collaborative partnerships between our community organizations. Some
recent partnering examples include the Oswego Heritage Council and the
Lake Corporation working together to host the popular Wooden Boat show,
The Lakewood Center for the Arts and Rotary partnering together to produce
our annual Lobster Feed and the City of Lake Oswego and the Lake
Corporation co-hosting our Fourth of July Fireworks.
The Lake Oswego Chamber of Commerce recognized the value of
partnerships and in 2003 formed an organization called Fusion. Fusion is
made up of the boards and governing bodies of nine organizations: The
Chamber of Commerce, the City of Lake Oswego, the Lake Corporation, the
Lake Oswego School District, the Oswego Heritage Council, the Lakewood
Center for the Arts, the Downtown Business District Association, the Lake
Grove Business Association and the Lake Oswego Neighborhood Action
Coalition. Fusion's vision is based on the premise that if we are going
to continue to sustain our outstanding quality of life and make this
community everything it can be, then we need to continue to strengthen our
community partnerships and find new and better ways to communicate,
cooperate and collaborate with each other.
There is so much to be proud of as a resident of Lake Oswego. I am
especially impressed with so many organizations working in solidarity
to improve our quality of life. Remember...partnering together as a
community will Keep Lake Oswego Great! For more information on how to
