Challenges While headquarters is based in Portland, OR BPA has

offices throughout its service territory.

Some of our biggest challenges relate to how we engage employees who are physically separated and have different resources available to them.

Funding – very limited budget. Most funding comes from individual departments involved in specific initiatives. The majority of our efforts are accomplished through the voluntary involvement of staff.
