The last Say Hey! of the year goes out with a bang. Four hundred nineteen attendees sealed this year’s third in-person Say Hey! event at Portland State University. Thirty-one Honorees graced the stage as a vibrant multi-cultural crowd welcomed them to the region. Great energy, good food and drinks made an excellent recipe for successful networking and community building for our professionals of color and allies.
Special thanks to Portland State University for sponsoring this event and to everyone else who made this event shine. We hope to see you at our next Say Hey! event on February 9, 2023, in Hillsboro.
