Additional Dates Planned for Human Relations Director Input Meetings

GREENSBORO -- Two additional meetings have been scheduled to allow residents to share their thoughts on the qualities needed in the next director of the City’s Human Relations Department. The meetings will be held on June 13 from 12 noon to 1 pm at Central Library Nussbaum Room, 219 N. Church Street, and on June 14 from 7 to 8 pm at Peeler Recreation Center Community Meeting Room, 1300 Sykes Ave.

Three meetings are already planned for the Kitchen Operations Center, 2602 S. Elm-Eugene Street, in the Lake Townsend Room on:

• June 7 from 12 noon – 1 pm 
• June 7 from 7 – 8 pm
• June 12 from 7 – 8 pm

The purpose of the Human Relations Department is to promote mutual understanding, fair treatment, and appreciation of diversity for all residents. The new director will oversee this effort, as well as manage the review of discrimination cases, oversee the Human Relations Commission and Commission on the Status of Women, and oversee the Complaint Review Committee that works with concerns regarding the Police Department.

Greensboro residents can also email their comments on the City’s website at www.greensboro-nc.gov or call 373-2489 to tell their suggestions to a Customer Service Representative. All information given will be used to help develop the criteria for the selection process.

The mission of the Human Relations Department is to promote mutual understanding and fair treatment among all residents of Greensboro in conjunction with the Human Relations Commission and the Commission on the Status of Women. Through mediation, the Department seeks the voluntary resolution of complaints of discrimination or unfair treatment in employment, housing and public accommodations because of an individual's race, color, sex, religion, national origin, familial status, or disability.
