Quotes
“Multnomah has been a terrific place to work for a long time,” said President Daniel Lockwood. “In fact, Christianity Today conducted a similar survey a few years ago with comparable results. Still, I’m always gratified to know that our employees are pleased with the quality of our workplace. So much of what makes Multnomah a special place to serve must be attributed to these high-quality men and women who sincerely endeavor to reflect Christ-likeness to one another in the workplace.”
“It is good for us to periodically take the opportunity to reflect on how we’re doing as an employer,” Director of Human Resources, Tracy Moreschi, said. “I’m pleased that the results revealed not only that Multnomah is a great non-profit to work for, but also that our employees value Multnomah and are satisfied working here.”
