PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE & ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Sr. Policy Adviser/Director, Affirmative Action, Diversity & Inclusion, Immigration Jan 2011 – March 2015
Office of the Governor, John Kitzhaber & Kate Brown
As the Chief Diversity Officer for the Governor and the State of Oregon, my vision was to reignite and elevate the
historical and controversial policy of Affirmative Action by aligning it as a foundational piece to the Governor’s
policy agenda on education, health care, jobs and economy, sentence reform and the State of Oregon service delivery
system. I strategically introduced the workforce/organizational development discipline of Diversity & Inclusion as
change leadership; framing it as a catalyst for increased ownership of a historically polarizing narrative by state
employees and policy stakeholders, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, disability and protected class status. The
increased ownership by a larger and broader audience that ensued resulted in a paradigm shift in our collective
thinking and discussions regarding public policy, cultural competency and service delivery. Over the last four years,
the collective and intentional ownership of Diversity & Inclusion yielded transformational steps towards improved
access & equity and empowerment for all who make Oregon home. Below is a listing of outcomes that our team led
and orchestrated, which support the organizational change currently taking place at the State of Oregon.
Achievements as Sr. Policy Adviser/Director, Affirmative Action, Diversity & Inclusion, Immigration
Strategic System-Wide Transformation
Reframed the name of the office and Biennial Affirmative Action Report to include Diversity & Inclusion.
Created the Governor’s Agency Director Diversity & Inclusion Kitchen Cabinet. This was a leadership platform
of 30 state agency directors chaired by the Governor that met periodically to discuss and review the agency
mission, function and goals and aligning them with the Diversity & Inclusion discipline.
Created and implemented the Governor’s Diversity & Inclusion biweekly newsletter that engaged and grew to
over 2,000 recipients.
Revitalized the annual State of Oregon Diversity Conference by aligning it with Diversity & Inclusion and the
Governor’s Kitchen Cabinet. This resulted in increasing agency sponsorship from 7 to 25 and increasing
attendance to two days of sold out participation at the Salem Convention Center. The last four years average
attendance by employees from across the state has been approximately 1,800-2000.
Workforce Diversity: Recruitment and Retention
Increased the workforce diversity, i.e., protected classes, of the Governor’s Office from 14% to 29%.
Increased the workforce diversity with the Oregon State Police sworn officer unit by increasing the protected class
hires from 9% to 35% within 18 months.
Increased the workforce diversity of 38,000 employees at the State of Oregon by 2%; increasing racial & ethnic
minorities from 12.5% to 14.5% of the total workforce.
Established the vision and orchestrated the policy & political strategy for the bill passage of restoring driver cards
to Oregon’s undocumented residents.
Policy and Advocacy for Equity-Focused Issues
Facilitated and coordinated the political strategy for the bill passage of Tuition Equity for Oregon’s
undocumented residents.
Facilitated an administrative rule change by the Oregon State Police to use the Mexican Matricula Card as a form
of identification on routine police stops.
Facilitated an administrative rule at Department of Motor Vehicles to allow Deferred Action residents to apply for
a limited Oregon Driver Card.
Facilitated a collaborative and aligned policy vision for the Governor’s Oregon Advocacy Commissions. Their
new strategy on persuading state agencies to enter into joint policy research internships resulted in a value add
orientation that has led to a four-fold increase in their biennial budget.
