The Trail Blazers 20-member Fan Advisory Board held its inaugural meeting on Wednesday, January 14 at the Rose Garden.

The fourteen board members in attendance met with Trail Blazers President, Steve Patterson, CMO, Declan Bolger, and Director of Player Programs, Jerome Kersey for nearly two hours Wednesday evening.

Topics included feedback on recent changes made with the organization, support for team leadership's strong discipline against player misconduct, suggestions for improving franchise image, desire to hear more about the positive work the organization does in the community and how to help reconnect the team with its fans.

Thank you to all members for your insight and feedback. The Fan Advisory Board will meet again in March.

The Fan Advisory Board was created as part of a 25-point pledge to fans outlining the Trail Blazers' commitment to providing enhanced programs, services and special inclusion with the franchise.
