The College of Urban and Public Affairs will present its Urban Pioneer Awards for 2004 to former Multnomah County Executive and Sheriff Don Clark; longtime advocate for open spaces Barbara Walker; and REACH Community Development, a nonprofit development and management firm. The awards will be given May 17 at the Portland Hilton Hotel.

Guest speaker is Lee Brown, former faculty member, Multnomah County sheriff, director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, and most recently, mayor of Houston.

The Urban Pioneer Award was created in 2002 to honor state and community leaders who exhibit many of the values taught to students and held by faculty in the college.

Sponsorships and tickets are available by calling Rod Johnson at the College of Urban and Public Affairs at 503-725-4044.
