THE CENTER FOR RACIAL HARMONY Information

Racial Harmony continues to create and support a diverse and inclusive community. Racial Harmony believes that by fostering an atmosphere of acceptance and support, we can begin to value and appreciate the strengths afforded by the differences, styles, ideas, and organizational contributions of each person we encounter daily. To this end, Racial Harmony will pursue challenges that allow us to question preconceived ideas and beliefs that inform and/or infringe upon our commitments, and to implement measurable inclusive practices. A major strength of Racial Harmony is its commitment to promoting respect among all community members by our lively programs that recognize contributions by our youth through The Gathering and Youth-to-Youth Symposiums, as well as our recognition programs highlighting individual adults and corporations at our E.L.I.T.E.(Extraordinary Leaders Impacting Today's Environment) Awards Dinner. And lastly, we have expanded our Dinner Table discussions that ponder issues surrounding diversity and inclusion that offers an opportunity to constructively engage different viewpoints. I will continue to be optimistic that our community will continue to createsafe environments for all members to discuss and discover challenges, and explore the benefits of a diverse and inclusive society. As president, I look forward to sharing ideas and forging toward another successful year.
