Say Hey! is the largest multi-cultural networking event in Oregon and southwest Washington. Each quarter, Partners in Diversity connects local businesses and community members with professionals of color who recently relocated to Oregon or southwest Washington. Recently relocated professionals of color (aka Honorees) are introduced during a special portion of the program.
We help build community, deepen connections and create an environment where everyone is welcomed. Employers can leverage this program as an extension to your onboarding experiences for new staff of color. A study on workforce retention commissioned by Partners in Diversity and released in 2020 showed that having a strong, supportive community is an important element in retaining professionals of color in Oregon and southwest Washington.
New to the Oregon and sw Washington region? Looking to make more professional connections and find community? Join us as an Honoree! Learn more and register here: https://www.partnersindiversity.org/programs/say-hey/honoree-sign-up/
