Herb L. Cawthorne
Chief Executive Officer
August 4, 1987
Dear Member:
I would like to take a moment to update you on the recent developments at the Urban
League of Portland. As you probably know, on June 25th, president and chief executive
officer, Herb Cawthorne, accepted a new challenge. He will begin his new responsibilities as the president & chief executive officer of the Urban League of San Diego
effective August 3rd.
-
In light of Herb's many years of service to the city of Portland, I honestly believe
this was one of the toughest decisions he has ever made. We at the Urban League are
deeply saddened by his departure, for we know, all too well, that competent, compassionate leadership is a rare commodity. Yet, if it is true that a tree can be judged
by the fruit it bears, then his 2-1/2 year tenure as president of the Urban League has
been worthwhile, indeed. The legacy entails the development of a management team that
is poised and prepared to continue the important work of the Urban League. The standard of excellence he demanded has evolved into a visible self-pride in the quality of
work produced by this agency. Collectively we stand dedicated to maintain, even
enhance, the continuing work of the Urban League of Portland.
It was in this spirit that I accepted,

capacity is based solely on the urgent need to continue the work of the Urban League
in a focused and expeditious manner. Secondly, the Board of Directors has established
clear goals for the interim period. A major part of that initiative is the search and
selection of a permanent CEO. I will work to see that this process is carried out in
the rTlost efficient manner possible.
The Urban League and the city of Portland are losing an excellent leader. There is no
doubt we will miss Herb Cawthorne, yet he leaves with our best wishes for a fantastic
career in San Diego. With your continued support during this interim period, the
Urban League can confidently continue its historic mission . . to create a better

As a result of considered and conscious planning coupled
with corporate support, the Portland Urban League claims a wealth
of accomplishments:
Safe, clean housing projects for the elderly;
decent family residence buildings; the revitalization of a corridor area leading into the city's downtown which otherwise would
have been doomed.
Our neighborhood work speaks for itself:
PHASE
The condemned Lynview Hotel was given to the Portland Urban
League in 1982.
The Urban League and the Portland Development
Commission took what was then a corner eyesore waiting for the
wrecking ball and transformed it into 15,000 square feet of office
space.
This project allowed the Urban League to bring its opera-
tions under one roof, eliminating fragmentation and greatly improving services.
Additionally, in response to housing needs for
the elderly, 24 units of rental housing were created in the reno(
vation process.
-5Phase III of our plan to improve the North Portland neighborhood will soon be underway.
When the Urban League moves to its
new headquarters, all of Urban Plaza will be converted into the
Urban League Senior Center.

THE PLAN: BUILDING
PARTNERSHIP
The Urban League of Portland has all of its programs -employment, education, aging, adult, youth and administrative
services, along with the Multnomah County Aging Services Division
and low-income elderly housing -- housed together in Urban Plaza,
earlier described in Phase II.
The current space situation is
best described as "insufferably
"insufferably inadequate."

Office space which would provide the additional 10,000 square
feet desperately needed would cost, minimally, $10.00 per square
foot, creating an additional annual expense of $100,000.
That
$100,000 would be paid to landlords who may, or may not, have any
interest in the neighborhood, the community or the Urban League.

If Urban
League funds are not channeled into programs, they are channeled
away from all people who need those programs.
A one-time-only expenditure is required for the renovation
and design of the 16,800 square feet in the existing structure.

The Fred Meyer Charitable Trust and the Urban League of
Portland have a solid partnership history.
Many of the League's
most critical projects have achieved their desired success levels
strictly as a result of assistance from the Fred Meyer Charitable
Trust.
We are hopeful that this partnership will continue to
expand and be of ultimate benefit to both organizations in the
coIning years.
years.
coming
The Urban League of Portland and its Board of Directors
firmly believe the future of the Mentzer Building renovation
project is contingent upon strong financial backing from the Fred
Meyer Charitable Trust.
Our request for a $500,000 grant is based
on that belief and on the fact that we have seen evidence of the
Trust's major commitment to the community and the people served by
the Urban League.
The facts which have been presented in this proposal clearly
indicate the depth of need the Urban League is attempting to
fathom.
The Fred Meyer Charitable Trust has made it possible for
the Urban League to serve our community in the past.
We respect-
fully request your support for what we must accomplish in the
future.

injustice, prejudice and cultural disintegration are the weapons
being used.

Portland is nationally distinguished by a history of
harmonious rather than hostile race relations.
However, the Portland Urban League cannot continue to achieve
its goals independent of the community, the foundations, corporations and businesses dedicated to the improvement of lives, commu-
nities and future generations of humanity.
Support of the Urban League's $1.15 million construction fund
is a statement to the hundreds of people who rely on its services
that they are not alone and have not been forgotten.
Participation in the campaign to continue building up the
neighborhood is a statement to the community that Portland is a
city in which all people of all races, religions and creeds can
and do work together to achieve where others have failed.

with the
the
Urban League in this endeavor.
As you so aptly stated, it takes no genius to know that
preventive measures today, such as expanded services and
badly needed outreach programs, are a far better investment in Portland's future than additional jail space.
Thanks for bringing the point home so clearly.
Enclosed is a copy of letters forwarded to DeNorval
Unthank of Unthank Poticha Waterbury Architects and John
Ward of R&H Construction. I have invited each to begin
the process of coordination and clarification that is so
badly needed to insure the project is done efficiently
as planned. As Project Monitor, it is my hope that you
would join me for these meetings.
Also find a copy of the Foundation calendar, identifying
dates in which proposals will be forwarded to the respective foundations. Any advice or suggestions regarding it are welcomed and desired. As I receive confirinations from Mr. Unthank and Mr. Ward, I will forward
those dates to you as soon as possible that you may have
ample time to get them on your calendar.

Dear Mr. Cawthorne,
My letter comes belatedly, but is nevertheless sincere.
In March of this year I contacted the Urban League for
assistance in locating applicants to fill a particular position
Nancy Harding worked diligently and extensively
in our agency.
with me over a period of at least six weeks, pre-screening
potential candidates, answering my questions and concerns, and
following up on the referrals she sent to me.
I found Ms. Harding to be a very hard worker, and an
advocate for both her job-seeking clients and our agency. This
is not necessarily an easy role to fill and it seemed to me she
did it well.
While we were not successful in locating the right person to
fill this unique position, my positive experience with Ms.
Harding and the League means that I look forward to working with
your agency to meet our future job needs.
