Welcoming and Inclusive Communities Committee Meeting

Picture
The Welcoming and Inclusive Communities committee meets once a month to stratagize and discuss future goals, events and opportunities. We are always looking for people interested in sitting on the committee. If you have a passion for newcomers and want to postively affect their perception, and life in our community then we'd love to hear from you. For more information email Lesley Winfield (Chair) at [email protected].
