Oregon Rainmakers

About Oregon Rainmakers

KLCC's Oregon Rainmakers is a podcast where we talk to leaders creating community success in western and central Oregon. Our region is rich with leadership stories that aren’t being told, so we decided to create a podcast where we can have a conversation with the very leaders in Oregon who are moving our community forward. Every other week, we launch a new in-depth conversation with a person who is either creating wealth, policy, or opportunity for Oregon to continue to thrive today, and into the future. It could be a CEO or business leader, it could be an elected official, entrepreneur, or nonprofit leader, but the conversation will always focus on an important driver of community prosperity.
