Complex Conversations are topics related to equity and are usually internal agency discussions to broaden overall employee awareness of sensitive or complex issues no matter where they are individually in their equity journey. "The complexity of the ICWA/ORICWA conversation we're having on November 2 got us thinking, how can we best serve Tribal communities within Oregon?" says Dion Jordan, Director of the Office of Equity and Multicultural Services. "How can we open Complex Conversations to engage future leaders of Oregon? Public Policy? Social Services? We serve through knowledge—laying a foundation for why complex conversations are necessary, making people aware of what's at stake, identifying how federal policy affects state policy and most importantly, centering the voices of those whose lives may change without federal ICWA protections." You can attend in person at Kaneko Commons or participate online through Facebook live or Zoom. Learn more & RSVP diversity and multiculturalism
