We're sending out an S.O.S. call for a skilled Organizational Development and Change Management Advisor to help us navigate the waves of change.
We are in the process of reimagining Multnomah County Library for the community, including our services, staffing, technology and more. In 2020, Multnomah County voters approved a multi year capital bond that will provide Multnomah County Library (MCL) with new buildings and remodeling of several of our existing buildings. All of this exciting change requires expertise in Organizational Development and Change Management. That's where you come in...
