The City of Manchester recently announced some very positive news regarding the City’s ongoing efforts to honor and better serve and represent Manchester’s diverse population.
Mayor Joyce Craig announced that the Mayor’s Multicultural Advisory Council, chaired by Arnold Mikolo, would be expanding to include members of the Black Lives Matter movement.
The City of Manchester secured a $20,000 grant from the Norwin S. and Elizabeth N. Bean Foundation to provide diversity and cultural competency training for city employees who regularly interact with the public. The training, which was originally suggested by the Mayor’s Multicultural Advisory Council, will be led by the New Hampshire Health and Equity Partnership and New Hampshire Area Health Education Center.
The City of Manchester plans to begin scheduling community conversations to hear directly from residents about how the city can do better.
