The City of Bismarck’s Human Relations Committee (HRC) is presenting a Community Conversation Forum on Wednesday of this week.
The forum is an opportunity to facilitate important conversations about the adversities that many of our neighbors face, here in Bismarck. A panel of subject matter experts will address various issues in the community, with the hopes of building an ongoing conversation with the City Commission, as well as other community organizations and members. The public is invited to attend this free event.
“Bismarck is a wonderful community, but it is not without its challenges,” said HRC Chair Thea Jorgensen. “And before we can ever be able to try to address these challenges, we need to be able to listen to the people who live these challenges. We believe in curiosity over judgment, therefore listening to one another fosters a greater sense of understanding.”
The Community Conversation Forum will be held on Wednesday, February 28, from 6-8 PM at the Bismarck Veterans Memorial Public Library’s Meeting Room A. The library is located at 515 North Fifth Street in Bismarck.
The purpose of the HRC is to create an atmosphere of inclusion, equality and accessibility through education and outreach to recognize the value of a diverse community. The committee meets on the third Monday of each month at 5:15 PM in the City/County Building. For more information about the committee, visit the HRC page on our website.
