PDXWIT Presents: January Happy Hour & Town Hall

Registration through Zoom is required to attend this event.

Join us for a virtual Town Hall Happy Hour where you’ll hear from PDXWIT’s new Executive Director Hazel Valdez. Hazel will share her vision for the future of PDXWIT, and you’ll be able to ask her your most pressing questions.

Before we hear from Hazel, Katherine Johnson from True Self - Leadership Presence Consulting will deliver a lightning talk on leadership and being our authentic selves.  

Recruiters and hiring managers who have jobs on the PDXWIT job board will be sharing opportunities and will be ready to meet with you in virtual breakout rooms. 

ASL interpretation and closed captions will be available throughout the event. Contact hello@pdxwit.org if you have other accessibility needs. 

Hope to see you there!
