Resilient By Design: Building a Strong Intentional Purchasing Future

About this Event

As policies and dynamics shift, guided by our core value of cultural exchange, we’re creating a space for meaningful conversation and practical solutions

Join us for a lunch roundtable where we’ll connect in a relaxed setting and explore one key question:

What’s the best way to adapt intentional purchasing programs to a shifting landscape on DEI?

This is more than a discussion — it’s an opportunity to:

  • Hear what’s working for other businesses navigating these changes.

  • Share your own experiences and challenges in a supportive, peer-driven environment.

  • Leave with actionable ideas and a clearer vision for adapting your strategies to today’s policy landscape.

In an era of ideological division and legal scrutiny, old DEI playbooks won’t cut it. By attending, you’ll gain insights you can apply immediately to strengthen intentional purchasing efforts, while building connections with other Portland businesses facing the same challenges. Businesses will be seated by size and industry.

We look forward to gathering around the table with you and turning conversation into practical solutions.

This event is exclusive for employees of businesses committed to actions through Portland Means Progress. To register, email hello@portlandmeansprogress.com
