Meet Me In Beaverton
Meet Me In Beaverton is all about the people and places you should know in Beaverton, Oregon and the surrounding area. In each episode, we interview people in the Beaverton community who own or do business with you, their neighbors. Sure, we’ll talk a bit about their business, but only just a bit. Mostly, this is about introducing you to your Beaverton neighbors, to hear their stories, learn about who they are, where they came from, and maybe have a laugh or two or learn something interesting along the way. And then yeah, we’ll also let you know about what they do and how they can help you. The goal here is to encourage you to buy local, and more than that, to know who it is you’re dealing with when you walk in that shop or restaurant, or make that call for a service. Meet Me In Beaverton is about helping you build connections to your community because when that happens, all those digital walls and silos we hear so much about?, they’ll come tumbling down. Meet Me in Beaverton is produced by LeftBrainRightBrain Marketing in partnership with The Beaverton Area Chamber of Commerce.

And that commitment to service permeated her extended family, who’ve given more than 300 years of service to their communities. So, it was no surprise that as Jenny grew up, her path would head in that direction too. I mean, after all, she pretty much grew up in a civics class…
