Catalyzing a new way for community and economy to relate

The Community Exchange Network of Portland (CEN|PDX) is a coalition of vested partners who go beyond simply being a member of Xchange Stewards, LLC. They support and strengthen the viability of existing models, and participate in the emergence of new economic models. Participants include businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, Xchange Stewards, LLC and the Community Exchange Institute (CEI).

CEN|PDX partners are peers and they support each other with the necessary collaboration practices and technology. By working together, they make the operation of new economic models more viable, profitable, and responsive to market needs. As a result, CEN|PDX partners achieve virtual scale, enabling each other to operate as if each partner possesses more resources and capacity than they actually do.

Several entities with different functions comprise The Community Exchange Network of Portland.  These include Xchange Stewards, LLC, the Community Exchange Instiute and the following:
