Community Relations Commission

The purpose of the Community Relations Commission is to promote respect and acceptance for diversity within the City.


CRC Listening Sessions

The Community Relations Commission (CRC) has held several listening sessions this year.  The goal of these listening sessions are to gather community input, stories and reflections with topics that are focused on diversity and discrimination. Additional Listening Sessions are planned for this year (times and locations to be determined).
