Founder's Welcome

Dennis Kennedy

Greetings,

It is my privilege to welcome you to our 2nd annual Oregon Diversity & Leadership Conference 2023 which is scheduled to take place from October 24-26. This year's theme is “Diversity First.” The conference will afford organizations the opportunity to explore tools and resources necessary to build a diverse workforce and remain competitive on the global stage. The conference will have over 60 speakers who will discuss a variety of different topics all related to our ever-changing workplace. It is important to recognize that learning leads to growth and growth is essential for change.

The Conference will start on October 24 with the day dedicated to training. There is a menu of options to select from for training. Each training is for 6 hours. Day two & three of the conference will have concurrent sessions throughout the day with 4-5 breakout sessions.

In closing, I would like to thank our sponsors for their support. I would like to thank the conference organizers, volunteers and speakers who are working diligently to bring you a wonderful conference. I hope your calendar will allow for your participation in our multi-day learning event.

Dennis Kennedy
Founder and Chairman
Oregon Diversity & Leadership Conference
