As our region continues to grow and change, the question is not just how we grow but how we grow together. What does it take to ensure that progress strengthens opportunity, belonging, and community outcomes for everyone?
In recognition of Diversity Awareness Month this April, Partners in Diversity in partnership with the City of Vancouver invites you to a Lunch & Learn panel exploring the growth, challenges, and opportunities shaping diverse our communities in Portland and Vancouver. As diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEI-B) strategies continue to evolve across sectors, this timely conversation will explore what is producing positive outcomes, where gaps remain, and how broader shifts in DEI efforts are impacting on communities. We will also explore what is needed to advance equity and belonging across both cities.
Panelists will highlight organizations and individuals contributing to community progress, share relevant data and local insights, and discuss opportunities for collaboration to strengthen regional impact. Hear from local leaders driving meaningful change, discover existing initiatives you can support, and explore how each city can show up for the other as sister communities.
Together, we’ll explore:
Join us for an engaging conversation designed to deepen understanding, spark collaboration, and identify actionable next steps for advancing belonging across our region. Join us to learn, connect, and be part of shaping a more inclusive and empowered regional community.
