Boly:Welch was founded in 1986 by Diane Boly and Pat Welch with a vision driven by community connections and matching talented people with great job opportunities.
As a women-owned and -led business, our office has grown to include over 45 employees in Portland’s historic Power + Light Building — a work environment that brings out the best in all of us!
2022 was a BIG year for Boly:Welch. We renewed our commitment to our hometown of Portland, Oregon, and the people who make this city work.

As a business founded and owned by women, Boly:Welch collaborates with minority and women-owned business enterprises to help develop and nurture strong relationships across all stakeholders. We make connections that enrich our community by seeing possibilities in people.
