Community Voices Council in 2021: What to Expect
In 2021, we as a group will begin having important conversations about race and equity in our region. Kurtis Robinson, our new Board Representative Co-Chair, is the current Vice-President of the NAACP and is an activist in anti-racist and destigmatizing work in Spokane. He is a highly respected and sought-after equity and anti-racist trainer. We are privileged to have his wisdom and life experience on our council as we start this journey together. We will have difficult and often challenging conversations, but as BHT likes to say, “There isn’t any growth in the comfort zone.” Learn more about what the CVC will be working on in 2021!
