Announcing OPRIB’s Trade Relationships Policy

Written By janine winters

Up to the present, ORPIB has made ad hoc agreements with various businesses and organizations for goods and services in trade for Membership and Sponsorships. 

Going forward, we will apply the standards and processes laid out in the policy to govern all trade agreements. Trade opportunities will be identified and defined by the Board of Directors starting with next year’s budget planning, announced via email, and posted on our website Marketplace page. 

Guiding Principles

ORPIB’s trade policy is grounded in:

  • Our mission to foster economic empowerment, professional growth, and civic engagement for Oregon’s LGBTQIA2S+ community.

  • Our JEAR statement—Justice, Equity, and Anti-Racism—ensuring decisions dismantle barriers and uplift historically marginalized voices.

  • A commitment to transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement in every partnership.

Scope

This policy applies to all in-kind trade relationships—whether through membership barter or sponsorship exchange—for goods and services provided to ORPIB. It governs:

  • Trade Memberships (exchanging services or goods for membership dues)

  • Trade Sponsorships (exchanging services or goods for sponsorship packages)

  • Community Partnerships (exchanging partnership opportunities for membership or sponsorship)
