The Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to welcome Tim Taylor as a summer public policy intern. Tim is an undergraduate at the University of Oregon in the Planning, Public Policy, and Management program. Tim started with the Chamber on June 16th, and will work throughout the summer, continuing part-time into the school year.
Tim’s desire to work with the Chamber came from an interest in policy and its affects on a wide range of issues and people. Tim saw that the Eugene Chamber of Commerce truly impacts policy in action and the affects of decisions made at the governmental level, as it functions as a liaison between the private and public sectors. It attempts to create an environment in which businesses and policy makers can work together with a collaborative goal of improving the quality of our local community.
As an intern with the Chamber, Tim will maintain continuous research of local organizations including, but not limited to the Eugene City Council, the Lane County Board of Commissioners, and the Eugene Planning Commission. I will continue to events that occur throughout the local community such as Budget Committee meetings, Lane Council of Governments board meetings, and Neighborhood Leaders Council meetings. He will also lead research on solutions to transportation and public safety funding issues.
“I understand the need for fair implementation of policy, and I recognize the importance of sound judgment by those who have been chosen to make decisions that affect the entire community. I desire to learn more about this process, and I intend to pursue a career in public service,” says Tim. “I am extremely grateful for the opportunity that the Chamber has provided me, and I am excited for the time that I will be spending here.”
