Agent of Change Network
Agent of Change Network Description:
The Agent of Change Network provides continued support for past participants of the Center’s class "How To Be an Agent of Change in Your Circle of Influence." The network offers workshops, trainings, and gatherings.
The Center has worked with a total of 34 Agent of Change classes of 10 to 16 participants each. This growing network of agents is transforming the culture of Portland. As an agent of change works on a specific project within a confined circle of influence, he or she is also pulling the broader community along the path to a sustainable future.

Agent Highlight: Agent Architects in Action
Carolyn Forsyth and Scott Thayer, both architects at Ankron Moisan, took separate Agent courses in the fall of 2009. In their discussions about the course, they developed a vision to embed sustainability as a core value in the culture of their firm. As a first step, they convened a green team task force including younger architects. The outcome was "Learn It, Do It, Share It," a new program with three elements: educate the staff, institute more sustainable practices at work, and promote sustainability outside the firm. All personnel will attend seven two-hour sessions addressing office operations, design work, and personal lifestyle choices. One hour of each session will be paid time, and one hour will be personal time.
