Equal Employment Opportunity and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement

The Upper Willamette SWCD is an equal opportunity employer, providing services to the public

without discrimination against race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability,

political beliefs, sexual orientation, and marital or family status.

The district recognizes the reality of modern-day systemic racism that has maintained disparities

that limit opportunities for groups of people based on race, culture, and other characteristics.

The district believes that an organizational commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is

essential to its mission and the development of a more resilient watershed and community.

Studies have shown that women, BIPOC, Persons with Disabilities, and Neuro Divergent

individuals are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they are able to perform every task

in the job description. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that

candidate may be one who comes from a less traditional background. The district will consider

any equivalent combination of knowledge, skills, education, and experience to meet minimum

qualifications. If you are interested in applying, we encourage you to think broadly about your

background and skill set for the role.

qualifying documents with your application submission.
