Join us on this journey at Viewpoint where we dedicate the event to Inclusive Language. Our topic of conversation will start with the question “how can language be more inclusive in your work environment?”</p> <p>While the event is primarily intended for networking, we will have a short segment at 5:30 to share important announcements and showcase women in our community.</p> <p>Introduction to Viewpoint, including what they do and what job opportunities are available.</p> <p>Pamela Cournoyer, Executive Leadership Coach at Powerful & True, Leadership Mastery will talk to us about getting along at work to create an inclusive culture.</p> <p>Paige Berry, Software Engineer at New Relic will tell us the The Practice of Positivity: how to be open-minded, thoughtful and caring.</p> <p>During the event, we’ll have more to do than free-form networking:</p> <p>An Activity Table where people can get creative. This is a fantastic way to meet others if large groups are not your thing. If you have trouble finding it, look for Meg Aul, our Event Activities Director.</p> <p>Table Topics to help break the ice.</p> <p>A section for job seekers and those hiring, to ensure people get connected.</p> <p>Agenda:</p> <p>4:30 p.m. - Doors open/Networking</p> <p>5:30 p.m. - Introductions, Announcements + Lightning Speakers</p> <p>6:30 p.m. - Event ends</p> <p>Event FAQ:</p> <p>Q: Will there be gender neutral restrooms?</p> <p>A: Yes</p> <p>Q: Is the space ADA accessible?</p> <p>A: Yes</p> <p>Q: Will there be food and drink at this event?</p> <p>A: Yes</p> <p>Q: What is the parking situation?</p> <p>A: Parking available, after 4pm, at the REC building located at 1515 SE Water Ave., (on the river side)</p> <p>Q: Is there secured bike parking?</p> <p>A: No</p> <p>Q: Should I consider using public transportation?</p> <p>A: Yes</p> <p>Purpose:</p> <p>PDXWIT is a community-based non-profit organization. Our purpose is to strengthen the Portland women in tech community by offering educational programs, partnerships, mentorships, resources and opportunities. We are unifying a supportive environment for current and potential women in tech, all of whom are committed to helping each other. Our goal is to bring together and empower women in tech and to encourage others to pursue tech careers. This is our step towards reducing the gender imbalance in the industry and addressing the current negative effects of that imbalance on women.</p> <p>Our events are inclusive. ALL people who support our purpose are welcome.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://www.pdxwit.org">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
