2nd Annual Monterey County Race Relations Summit Meeting

Black Leaders and Allies Collaborative will be hosting the summit and welcoming community leaders across the county, to work together towards greater racial equity.

While Monterey County is one of the most racially diverse geographical areas in the United States, dramatic economic and health disparities continue to be a barrier to the ideal of a truly equitable community across racial and ethnic lines.

BLAAC held a successful 1^st RRSM in 2023, thereby establishing a new space for dialogue toward mutual understanding and action across a diversity of public and private officials, representing local government, justice, health, education, and business sectors.

Speakers and facilitators will include Dr. Khuram Hussain, Vice President for Equity and Inclusion at Middlebury College, Vermont; Mr. Paul Robinson, Executive Minister for the Evangelical Covenant Church; and Dr. Linda McKenzie, CEO for the Global Empathy Training Academy.

This 2^nd RRSM will expand upon the 1^st Annual meeting to advance discussions towards designing and implementing community solutions towards greater racial equity.
