A Way Forward: Results from the Partners in Diversity Retention Project

Wednesday, July 15, 2020 (10:00 AM - 11:30 AM) (PDT)

Description

Three years after the release of Partners in Diversity's Workforce Diversity Project, hear the latest research on how our region can do more to retain professionals of color. This new report takes a closer look at understanding why professionals of color move to Oregon and southwest Washington but then leave after a few years. The Partners in Diversity Retention Project endeavors to better understand what can be done to support new and diverse talent in the workplace and in our community.

This online event includes a presentation of facts and findings from the report produced by Partners in Diversity with research conducted by Dr. Larry R. Martinez, industrial and organizational psychologist. We'll also take a closer look at solutions employers can implement in their workplace, as well as a panel discussion with leaders who have successfully changed their workplace culture to be more inclusive.

Research & report: Larry R. Martinez, PhD, Martinez Organizational Consulting, LLC
Panelists:
  • Jeremy Barnicle, Executive Director, Ecotrust
  • Patrick Criteser, President and CEO, Tillamook County Creamery Association
  • Curtis Robinhold, Executive Director, Port of Portland
  • Moderated by: Chad Paulson, Senior Vice President and General Counsel, Blount
