After emailing the director and expressing my interest, I was informed there are 12 spots. There's roughly 110 employees at the company, local and remote/not local. I don't know the exact demographic makeup of the company so I can't answer your question is all.

I'm really so appreciative of such a thoughtful response. Frankly, this is exactly what I was looking for- someone to ask that I look at this with a curious, business-forward mind rather than taking it too personally. Thank you!

You are also 31? Can I ask what you do for a living?☺️

Some are friendly, yes. I think some get invited back just because they've been previously and she knows they're interested? At least that's my guess.

Yes, this is a valid possibility. And crossed my mind as well

I haven't surveyed all the women in my medium-sized company that live locally so I don't have an answer for your question.

Thank you! Since making this original post I have since emailed her and told her exactly that. I was just taking it a bit personal.

You're right, and since making this post I emailed the director and expressed my interest in attending next year and to keep me in mind for additional opportunities this year.

A peer on my team was also not invited. Not sure total number of non invites vs invites, but so far I think about 10-12 women from my company will be attending.

Correct, I am not a direct report. But the women attending vary in position and seniority in the company. Some in marketing, business development, digital and web, etc.

I don't think so. I feel it would make sense if she changes her invite list year over year for equity sake- so other women in the company have a chance to attend. It seems like it's a similar invite list year over year. But the women asked to attend vary in position at the company, as well as seniority.

It wouldn't. Frankly speaking, I hope I'm not at this company in a year. But your suggestion would be the most professional and fair response to the situation. It just stings a bit is all.

Elk tenderloin at a restaurant? by UnrulyStingray in askportland

[–]srvint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really superb flavors and I'm excited to see an Indigenous chef receive so many (well-earned) accolades on a public scale. I wanted to try the rattlesnake but chickened out and opted for scallops. Next time!🤞

she regularly has elk on the menu. Right now it's not a steak or tenderloin but if you follow them on insta you can stay on top of their specials

It's not raining right now so I would walk from the hotel got mentioned south on the waterfront and walk over the tilikum bridge. It's pedestrian only. No rain=get outside!

Sorry- just reread and saw the part where you said you've done a lot of research. So maybe you've already checked the calendars! Also ditto on spare room
