The Oregon iSector is pleased to announce that Keith Leavitt will join the organization as Executive Director effective July 6.
Leavitt brings more than 30 years of leadership experience in economic development, public policy, transportation, trade and community development. His career includes leadership roles with the Oregon Legislature, the Oregon Economic Development Department, the Governor’s Office and more than 25 years at the Port of Portland, where he advanced major infrastructure and economic development initiatives through partnerships across the public, private and civic sectors.
Leavitt succeeds founder Greg Wolf, who will continue serving as Director of Program Development.
The leadership transition comes as Oregon iSector continues expanding its work to help communities tackle complex challenges through cross-sector partnerships and innovative approaches.
In recent years, the organization has sponsored the Housing Innovation Partnership, a statewide initiative that has helped advance more than $140 million in workforce housing investments through financing and policy recommendations. Oregon iSector also provides technical assistance to rural communities, helping local leaders navigate infrastructure planning, housing development, funding opportunities and project implementation while building local capacity for long-term success.
“The iSector board and staff is composed of people with vast experience in public, private and civic partnerships in many different sectors,” said Board Chair Kate Sinner. “Keith brings long experience in major infrastructure projects and the multi-sector systemic changes that make them possible. We look forward to having him join our team.”
As Executive Director, Leavitt will focus on strengthening partnerships and expanding the organization’s support for communities across Oregon as they address housing shortages, infrastructure needs and other complex public challenges that require coordinated action.
