Dear Mr. Stroh:
On behalf of the City of Portland, I am pleased to welcome the 16th National Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect to the "City of Roses." I congratulate Portland State University, Graduate School of Social Work-Child Welfare Partnership for being selected by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as the local host agency.
The City of Portland is proud to serve as the site for the nation's key conference on child abuse and neglect prevention and treatment. Our child and family service programs have long advocated for every child to enjoy a healthy family environment in a supportive and nurturing community. These programs emphasize people working together to make our city a better place for children, enabling them to thrive at home and in their neighborhood.
I invite conference participants to experience some of the things that make our city so great—whether it's a fine meal at one of our renowned local restaurants, a hike through Forest Park, or an evening of spectacular performance at one of our celebrated theaters. I hope that your busy schedule will allow you to take advantage of the entertainment and beauty that our city has to offer.
Thank you for your commitment to children and families. I extend my best wishes for a successful conference and I hope our visitors have an enjoyable stay in the City of Portland.
Sincerely,
Tom Potter
Mayor
