March 23, 2017 It is with great excitement that I welcome you to the 13th Annual Governor's Marketplace Conference, hosted by the Governor’s Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion/Affirmative Action. Today, we are here to make connections, learn from one another, and ensure that business owners are equipped with necessary tools and resources to start, sustain, and thrive. Many conference attendees understand the importance of community engagement, the power of building relationships, and connecting business owners with contracting opportunities. The conference is a place where conversations begin, doors open, and opportunities lead to prosperous Oregon businesses. We have a unique opportunity to change the way we do business in Oregon by prioritizing equitable buying practices and ensuring all business owners have equal access to the countless contracting opportunities within our thriving state. When opportunities for small businesses are accessible, this allows owners to, first and foremost, provide for themselves and their families. A strong, equitable economy means businesses, at any stage, have opportunities to be successful, grow, create jobs, drive innovation, and greatly contribute to the health of our diverse communities. I hold the deepest gratitude for all participants today, from state agencies to private firms, from businesses of all sizes to nonprofit organizations who share their wealth of knowledge and assistance. Thank you for your participation, support, and commitment to Oregon. Sincerely,
Governor Kate Brown

Governor Kate BrownKate Brown, Oregon’s 38th Governor, has dedicated her life to standing up for Oregon’s families and ensuring every Oregonian has the chance to lead a good life. Under Governor Brown’s leadership, state government is committed to using every taxpayer dollar wisely, to creating a seamless system of education, to making Oregon a leader in meeting the challenge of climate change, and to making sure everyone has access to the healthcare they want at a price they can afford.
From 2009 to 2015, Governor Brown served as Oregon’s Secretary of State, where she was a leader in increasing government transparency and accountability. She also created the Office of Small Business Assistance, to help cut through red tape
and allow businesses to grow and expand.
As Governor, she has appointed a Regional Solutions team that is leading state and local officials to work with businesses to streamline projects around the state.
Governor Brown grew up in Minnesota and earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Colorado-Boulder. She came to Oregon to attend Lewis and Clark’s Northwestern School of Law, where she received her law degree and Certificate in Environmental Law.
With her husband Dan Little, Governor Brown raised Mr. Little’s son and daughter, who are now grown, in Portland. When Brown is not busy at the Capitol in Salem, you’ll find her horseback riding or hiking. Governor Brown and Mr. Little now live in the governor’s official residence in Salem, Mahonia Hall.

Following Sienna in 2009, she founded ecoREAL to provide comprehensive educational and consulting services for sustainable development. She has helped dozens of projects exceed their LEED certification goals, and has taught hundreds of workshops to help people become LEED Accredited professionals. As part of her mission to make Green Building goals, cost effective she created ecoREAL’s Green Building Integrative Management (GBIM) software and Lean LEED tools to provide teams with the training and tools necessary for meeting sustainability requirements without unnecessary cost premiums. This process has been successfully used Government and University projects. The tools streamline LEED documentation, and verify healthy material tracking with real time reports that bridge the gap from design to construction. She teaches, leads and innovates to make Green Building the best investment for the people, the buildings, the environment and the community it serves. Her holistic approach makes a hybrid matrix to guide a team to meet the client’s needs. She also co-founded OAME’s Sustainability and Equity Committee, which she has been serving for almost ten years with a passion to make Green Building accessible to all.
