Learn about the OR-MEP Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Coalition

OR-MEP is committed to equitably serving the people of Oregon and disrupting systems that maintain inequality, within the energy industry and beyond.

  • Affordable Housing Property Manager or Owner

  • Resident/Community Member

  • Community-Based Organization Representative

  • Community or Public Health Worker

  • Affordable Housing Finance Specialist

  • Workforce Development Specialist

  • Energy Industry Professional
