Cultivating a new generation of community-focused leaders in Lane County

Our mission is to ensure that local leadership is equipped to address the challenges of today and tomorrow. By supporting candidates who prioritize economic growth, community well-being, and sustainable solutions, we aim to create a flourishing environment where everyone can thrive.

Communities Don’t Flourish by Accident

Strong communities are built by people willing to lead—and by communities willing to support them.

LIFT Lane exists to strengthen the pipeline of local leadership in Lane County by helping thoughtful, prepared, and community-minded leaders step forward and succeed.

Local decisions shape our housing, economy, infrastructure, and quality of life. LIFT Lane helps ensure those decisions are made by leaders who are ready for the responsibility.

The Eugene Chamber’s Vision for LIFT Lane

The Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce launched LIFT Lane after seeing a growing gap between the complexity of today’s challenges and the support available to those willing to lead.

Running for office is hard. Governing is even harder.

As a convener of business, nonprofit, education, and civic leaders, the Chamber understands how interconnected our community systems are—and how critical strong leadership is to a healthy economy and thriving community.

LIFT Lane was created as a focused, mission-driven effort to strengthen leadership, not partisanship.

What a Flourishing Community Looks Like

A flourishing community is one where individuals and families thrive, supported by a robust economy and vibrant public systems. It is characterized by affordable living, accessible opportunities, and a commitment to sustainability. In such a community, businesses innovate and expand, while public services operate with transparency and efficiency. Leaders collaborate across sectors to address challenges, ensuring that prosperity is shared and enduring.
