From the Executive Director

WELCOME TO FOREST GROVE AND CORNELIUS

Executive Director, Claudia Yakos

Claudia Yakos, Serving as Executive Director since December of 2022.

Around here, local is not just something we say. It is how we do things. We shop locally, dine locally, hire locally, celebrate locally, and support the people who invest their time, talent, and resources in our communities. We hope more people will join us in choosing local whenever they can because every purchase, referral, and kind word makes a real difference to a small business and the family behind it.

Together, Forest Grove and Cornelius offer the best of our region. You can enjoy a locally made meal, explore wine country, attend a community event, visit a park, or simply take in the views of the surrounding countryside. More importantly, you will meet people who are proud of where they live and eager to share it with you.
