Portland Means Progress seeks racial equity practitioners

Equity practitioners
Portland Means Progress is looking for racial equity practitioners interested in helping Portland Means Progress businesses navigate their racial equity strategies. PMP works with 150+ companies that are committed to this work, and many of those companies ask, “Who should we work with?” In response, and to promote amazing racial equity practitioners, PMP is developing a list of providers. This list will not be public but will be shared only with businesses enrolled in Prosper Portland’s diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, including Portland Means Progress and TechTown. To create the list, PMP will work with external racial equity consultants to develop an application to identify practitioner participants. The vetting process will include reference checks and interviews with the practitioners.

The equity practitioner application will launch in early summer 2021. To be notified when the application process goes live, please indicate your interest here.
