Cultural Diversity Commissions

About Cultural Diversity Advisory Commissions

Our communities are made up of people with different cultural, ethnic, and racial backgrounds. A number of Washington local governments had created cultural diversity advisory bodies. They have varying missions which include: advising on justice and equity issues, human rights education, monitoring demographic trends in the community, suggesting ways to celebrate multi-cultural activities, provide a forum for interaction between diverse cultural groups, and advising of opportunities to promote understanding and acceptance of cultural diversity in the community.
