Show it Counts! Campaign
 Show it Counts! was a statewide communications campaign to encourage greater community involvement and support in helping students reach high standards. It was a partnership program created by E3 in collaboration with the Oregon Business Council and the Oregon University System in 2001. Show it Counts! was presented in over 30 communities statewide through presentations to Chambers of Commerce, Rotary Clubs and other employer groups. E3 received the prestigious “Salute to Success” award in December of 2001 from the Oregon School Boards Association for the contribution Show it Counts! made to Oregon schools.
Highlights of the award winning Show it Counts! program:
- Encouraged
employers to take specific actions to support high
standards and promote their value, both in schools
and in the workplace.
- Created the Employer How-to Guide to direct employers through the process of implementing strategies to support Oregon schools.
- Celebrated the positive results of Oregon’s efforts at raising standards in K-12 public schools.
- Communicated the advantages of supporting high standards from a business perspective.
