Thank you so much for this, and please cover the work of this group more frequently to help elevate awareness of their initiatives (and celebrate them). THESE are the community issues that well-rounded leadership faithfully attends to in parallel with the planning, zoning, and economic development that get all of Troy's attention. From the very low profile of the committee, it looks from out here like the City's administration probably regards the human relations agenda as low-priority "soft issues." (But maybe the committee prefers to operate that way?) Either way, in a robust and fully invested community, I believe the work of a human relations committee is equal in importance to that of a planning commission.

The group meets quarterly, so there is not a ton of activity, but as things happen, we will cover it.
