Content Equity at Travel Portland
Travel Portland’s content brings our organizational vision to life by centering equity, diversity and inclusion.
At Travel Portland, our content (meaning written, photographic and video posted on our website and social media platforms and distributed via other channels) is produced by a team of three staff members and many vendors, agencies and independent contractors. We developed the aim statement and values that follow to guide our collective work.
