Oregon Supreme Justice Adrienne Nelson will talk about how her life experiences — from being the first person of color at her Arkansas high school to be named valedictorian to serving as the first African American on the Oregon Supreme Court — have informed her focus on leadership, diversity, inclusion, mentoring, community service, and the legal profession. She works daily to “make this world a little bit better.”  Justice Nelson will also give us global perspectives and believes if we each connect to our humanity, it opens us up to many more possibilities.
