The Porth of Portland, operator of Portland International Airport (PDX), this week selected Mayra Arreola as its chief diversity and social impact officer.
Arreola, currently director of resource management and operations for the Oregon Department of Education, takes over her position next month, leading the Port’s Shared Prosperity Office, ensuring action and accountability for the Port’s shared prosperity work, including community engagement and the Port’s diversity, equity and inclusion program.
“Mayra is a creative, thoughtful, experienced leader who has a strong vision around diversity, equity and inclusion and practical experience understanding public agency work,” said Curtis Robinhold, Port of Portland executive director. “Shared prosperity is key to the work of every Port employee and critical to the future of our organization, and Mayra will provide the vision, systems and relationship-building to help center this work in our community.”
The Port said it is committed to using its resources to reduce barriers and create opportunities for communities of color, low-income workers and people with disabilities.
