Now she serves as a minority evaluator for the City of Portland, leads equity programs on capital projects for the Portland Water Bureau and Portland Bureau of Environmental Services, and serves as president and cofounder of the nonprofit Women Leading Water, which takes an intersectional approach to promoting equity in the water industry. She was the inaugural recipient of the Pacific Northwest Section Clean Water Association Women of the Year Award. Nicki has presented on equity, diversity, and bias at numerous local and regional conferences, ranging from local operator trainings to a keynote presentation at the CA-NV American Water Works Association conference. She has delivered equity and inclusion trainings and presentations to thousands of technical professionals at organizations including municipal agencies, consulting firms, and professional associations. When she’s not working, volunteering, or spending time with her family, you’ll find her drinking Diet Coke or studying the Enneagram and other personality psychology theories. https://www.theformationlab.com/carrieblack daily 0.75 2025-12-15 https://www.theformationlab.com/allison-carvalho-bio-in-progress daily 0.75 2025-12-08 https://www.theformationlab.com/mattpozos daily 0.75 2025-12-08
