CRAA Office Meeting

In case you're free next Thursday evening:

URGENT!!

A Community Hearing

On the

City of Carbondale’s Proposal to Eliminate the Position:

Community Relations/Affirmative Action Office

Some City Officials want to disband the office that is currently responsible for

The City’s Affirmative Action and Equal Employment Opportunity Programs, and

Assign the duties of Affirmative Action to other persons who have other job

duties with the city. The successful implementation of an affirmative action

Plan depends upon reliable, effective and complete monitoring systems that are

Administered by a person dedicated to such objectives and well versed in State a

and Federal requirements. The City of Carbondale does not have a positive past

in its practice of retention and promotion of African Americans and other

Minorities; isn’t it time to move forward?
