About UBO

Unified Business Oregon was formed in 2018 as a non-profit membership association to help define the voice of Oregon's business community.  

Our member businesses are comprised of small and large firms from across industry sectors throughout the state.  Our goal is to make sure policy makers understand how their decisions impact not just business owners, but the employees and customers in the communities elected officials represent.

Prior to becoming Executive Director for Unified Business Oregon, Lou Ogden served for 24 years as Mayor of Tualatin, one of Oregon's most prosperous cities.  

Lou was instrumental in helping Tualatin grow its assets to over $3 billion dollars and was a key partner in the economic development of his community.  As a small business owner, and a former elected official, Lou knows firsthand that businesses are best served when government is working to facilitate business success.

As Executive Director for UBO, Lou will put his business experience and public policy knowledge to work for our membership.
