Lobbying & Volunteer Committees:
“Rarely are there other architects testifying at State Senate or Oregon Transportation Commission hearings.”

Over the past thirteen years Ken Diener has made a commitment to Oregon’s democratic land use processes by being a member of tens of neighborhood land use committees and special projects, City and State Code rewrite committees and public involvement committees. A member of the Retail Task Force and unofficial lobbyist for the ICSC. For five years Ken was a member of ODOT’s AMAC (Access Management Advisory Committee) and was involved in Code negotiations with multiple cities, the State's DLCD and Portland’s Regional Government, METRO. All of this lobby work helps to keep Ken Diener at the forefront of the State's land use climate and establishes contacts that are useful for our private sector Clients. AND for a change of pace you can find me every Wednesday afternoon as a volunteer guide at Portland’s Classical Chinese Garden.
