🎉 Today we're celebrating an incredible leader and an even better person

Please join us in congratulating Nate McCoy, President & CEO of NAMC-Oregon, on being named a 2026 Daily Journal of Commerce Oregon C-Level and Leadership Award Honoree!

Nate’s visionary, collaborative, and service-driven leadership continues to create opportunity, remove barriers, and strengthen businesses owned by People of Color across Oregon.

As NAMC-Oregon Chief Operating Officer Cinna’Mon Williams shared:

“As someone who works alongside Nate McCoy every day, I see a level of servant leadership that is both rare and deeply impactful. Nate does not lead from the front for recognition; he leads from within the work, standing shoulder to shoulder with the businesses and communities we serve. His tireless determination to create access, remove barriers, and drive meaningful change is not situational; it is who he is as a leader and as a human being. He leads with humility, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to ensuring others have the opportunity to succeed. This recognition is well deserved and a reflection of the impact he has made not only within our organization, but throughout Oregon’s business and construction communities.”

We’re also proud to celebrate Andrew Colas, President & CEO of Colas Construction and NAMC-Oregon Board Chair, who was recognized as a 2026 C-Level and Leadership Award Honoree.

👏 Congratulations, Nate, Andrew, and all of this year’s honorees!

We’re proud to celebrate leaders who are Building Bridges. Breaking Barriers. and creating a stronger, more inclusive Oregon.

I-5 through the Rose Quarter in Portland is aging and needs repairs. Starting September 11, 2026, all lanes of I-5 southbound will be closed through the Rose Quarter between I-405 and I-84 around the clock for up to 5 weeks. One lane will remain open from I-405 to the Broadway exit at the Moda Center. Closures are expected to cause the worst traffic in the region's history.

This is going to be tough for travelers and businesses alike. Travelers are urged to plan ahead, leave early, adjust travel times if possible and consider options like carpooling or transit. The more people modify their travel plans, the better the system will function for everyone, including emergency responders and freight trucks. To learn more about the I-5 Rose Quarter Improvement Project including current and upcoming travel impacts, visit www.i5rosequarter.org.
