The Workforce Diversity Retention Project would have been impossible without the support of PGE and the Oregon Community Foundation, as well as the guidance and expertise of Martinez Organizational Consulting. Partners in Diversity is especially grateful to our Say Hey!® Honorees who took the time to share their experiences and insights with us.
