It welcomes professionals of color who are new to Oregon and southwest Washington and connect them with community leaders, peers, and organizations that help make this region feel like home.
Say Hey!® is designed to be open, inclusive, and energizing. Everyone is welcome to join this uplifting community event focused on connection, belonging, and opportunity.
Say Hey!® takes place quarterly in February, May, August, and November.
Each event is hosted at a different location to ensure accessibility and engagement across the region. Past venues have included World Forestry Center, Clark College, OMSI, The Patricia Reser, the University of Oregon, Oregon State University, and more!
Professionals of all backgrounds are welcome—whether you are new to the region, exploring career opportunities, expanding your network, or simply looking to connect with community. s. Say Hey! is a 21+ event.
It can be hard to adjust after moving to a new area. Let us make that transition easier for you by introducing you to the community at a Say Hey!® program.
