5-Week Intensive Course for Executives

A five-part course meant to serve Portland Means Progress’s most committed leaders and provide in-depth strategic training for racial diversity, equity and inclusion.

About this Event

The 5-week Intensive Course for Executives will provide an opportunity for professional development that offers a more intimate learning space and rapid-pace deep dive into tactics and strategies for racial inclusion.

  • Week 1: Trauma Informed & Centering BIPOC

  • Week 2: Managing Culture Change & Setting Staff Expectations

  • Week 3: Retention & Recruitment for BIPOC

  • Week 4: Inclusive Management

  • Week 5: Planning & Measuring

The Intensive Course for Executives is based on the TechTown Executives Best Practices for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Toolkit which is available for download here.

This will be available to all Portland Means Progress and Tech Town companies. There will be two groups running simultaneously for the 5 week period. One group is Executives; this would be great for CEOs, Business Owners, Directors, Board Members and anyone who sees themselves as holding significant power in their company decisions. The second group is for internal champions; this is for all employees who see themselves as leaders in DEI internally or who want to know what that would look like.

Court Morse of Action Path will facilitate the series. Action Path provides proven racial equity strategies to dismantle racism and create an inclusive company culture, turning good intent into good action.

Sessions for the Exec Series will be held each Monday from April 4 to May 2 from 11:30 am -1:00 pm on Zoom.
