RECOMMENDATION
Assign Human Relations Commissioners to serve as liaisons to organizations that have
been selected to receive Grants-In-Aid and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Grant funding.
BACKGROUND
Historically, Commissioners have self -selected liaisons to grant recipient organizations.
The role of the liaison is to meet with the organization, provide the Commission updates
regarding project status, serve as a point of contact for questions, and provide the
organization with updates and reminders regarding the mid-year and end of year reporting
process. There are a total of 45 organizations that will need a liaison. Four commissioners
would be liaisons to six organizations and three would be liaisons to seven organizations.
The following is a list of all organizations that will need liaison assignments:
