The company was started by an innovative woman who attracted the most creative and dedicated local experts to engage clients visiting Seattle.

Over the years, the company flourished as the region boomed. Today, we’re the only full-service event agency in the Pacific Northwest, offering complete solutions to any event puzzle.

And we’re proud to have come full-circle, as a certified woman-owned business.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at SHW

SHW is committed to fostering, cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace. We know that the quality of our services, and our growth and effectiveness as an organization depends entirely on our greatest asset – our people. The collective sum of our individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, inventiveness, self-expression, unique capabilities, and talent represents a significant part of not only SHW’s culture, but our reputation as well.

We embrace and encourage our employee’s varying differences in age, color, disability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status, and other characteristics that make our employees unique.

Our goal is to provide an open environment for each employee to feel seen, heard, included, motivated, empowered, and enthusiastic about being a member of the SHW family. SHW’s diversity initiatives are applicable, but not limited, to our practices and policies on recruitment and selection, compensation and benefits, professional development and training, promotions, social and recreational programs, layoffs, terminations, and ongoing development of a work environment built on the premise of gender and diversity equity that encourages and enforces.

• • Respectful communication and cooperation between all employees
  • Teamwork and employee participation, permitting the representation of all groups and employee perspectives
  • Work/life balance through flexible work schedules and remote work options to accommodate employees’ varying needs

All employees of SHW have a responsibility to treat others with dignity and respect at all times. All employees are expected to exhibit conduct that reflects inclusion during work, at work functions on or off the work site, and at all other company-sponsored and participative events. We also offer employees annual training each October in honor of Global Diversity Awareness Month to enhance their knowledge to fulfill SHW’s diversity, equity and inclusion responsibilities.
