Working for the greater good


We provide a rewarding, balanced livelihood for our team, do work we are proud of, serve and influence our clients and community, and drive positive change. Our office next to the art museum in Portland, Oregon is our hub for creativity, strategy and collaboration. Together, we do inspiring work in a supportive environment – and we never miss a bowling night. It’s a special mix of people and purpose.

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Gard is continuously working to create a welcoming space where our team, partners and clients can bring their unique perspectives to make us stronger. Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are crucial to our work because they help us meet our clients’ goals with integrity, clarity and empathy – and add meaning and purpose to our work and community. Our values as a company reflect our commitment to building an environment that fosters belonging, understanding and acceptance. Our DEI committee includes members from every level of our firm and meets biweekly to help guide our entire Gard team toward our goal: an equitable community that values all voices as we challenge one another to see things from different viewpoints – and take action to support a fairer and more inclusive world.

Let’s work together for positive change.
