Have you joined Opt In yet? Nearly 2,000 of your neighbors in the region have already signed up to participate in Metro's new online panel and help guide important decisions that affect your community.
Civic involvement isn't the only incentive: If you join by March 15, you'll be eligible to win one of five $50 cash gift cards you can use anywhere!
This will be the second incentive drawing for Opt In. In mid-February, five lucky members were selected at random to receive Powell's Books gift cards as thanks for choosing to participate.
Asked why they joined Opt In, the prize winners made it clear that a pile of free books wasn't their main motivation.
"I know the importance and value of gathering thoughtful public opinions, and would like to contribute to that effort," said one. "I am a strong believer in the concept of metro-wide government and would like to help it continue to be successful here in the Portland area."
Said another winner: "I believe we need more people 'Opting In.' We need people to engage in the discussion to make this community a better place to live."
With nearly 2,000 members, the Opt In panel is off to a great start toward its goal of engaging at least 10,000 residents of the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan area in the choices that make this region a great place. You can help by signing up today and inviting your friends, neighbors and co-workers to join you on the panel. It's fast, easy and confidential—and rewarding.
Opt In now. Weigh in for the future.
