As one of the founding partners of Portland Means Progress, Travel Portland has committed to creating equitable opportunities within Portland. We hope our partners will join us on the journey to hire local young professionals of color, purchase from businesses owned by people of color and create a diverse and vibrant workforce and company cultures.
Participating businesses commit to taking at least one of the following actions:
- Create work experiences for underrepresented youth and young professionals of color.
- Support small businesses by purchasing goods & services from local businesses owned by people of color.
- Create culture change in your organization by providing Diversity, Equity & Inclusion training for your staff and leadership.
In the words of Portland Means Progress, “Together we have the power to transform Portland.” Let’s take action together as we work toward making our hospitality and tourism industry in Portland more diverse, equitable and inclusive.
