You are invited to join us for our Downtown PBL luncheon, on Wednesday, April 26th at the University Club in Downtown Portland. Our guest speaker will be Jill Viggiano.

Jill Viggiano spent 19 years working in commercial real estate before retiring to become a full- time mom. As an active volunteer, Jill couldn’t help but raise her hand and take on leadership roles in the community.

The opportunity to form and advance philanthropic organizations and their causes kept her engaged in both local and national efforts. Jill’s style is to create a team environment where cooperation and accomplishment happen while having fun.

When her husband survived a massive stroke in 2008, Jill focused her skills on his recovery. She now assists him in his day-to-day needs as well as in his speaking career.

Jill wrote Painful Blessing, a book about her spouse and caregiver experience shedding light on the real life impact of acquired brain injury, and providing hope and encouragement to those facing significant challenges.

Jill’s story will touch your soul and inspire you to press through any circumstance.
