  Citizens for Responsible Government's Election of a Board of Directors

  With the new year well underway, featuring new city councils and a board of county commissioners, our nonpartisan, collaborative, civic-minded grassroots organization, which officially commenced in May 2023, is approaching the completion of its second year. Citizens for Responsible Government (CRG) is also undergoing reorganization.

  The recent activities of the new county commissioners and the Grants Pass city councilors underscore the continued relevance of CRG's mission to promote and support good local governance. We have supported the adoption of a new county charter and contributed to the justified recall of a commissioner. We extend our gratitude to all who have donated their time, money, and creative energy, and we eagerly anticipate your ongoing support.

  We are holding an election to select a board of directors, aptly scheduled on George Washington's birthday. Meeting will start at 2:00PM; Doors open at 1:30.
