Our Annual Equal Opportunity Day Awards Set For Sept. 30

Please join us on Wednesday, Sept. 30, for our 46th Annual Equal Opportunity Day Awards celebration. It will be virtually from 12-1 pm.

Our event was initially scheduled on March 26 at the Kravis Center but was canceled due to the coronavirus.

This event is our way of honoring and thanking the many community partners that continuously support our programs, services, and community impact. We will also focus on the importance of the social justice movement, 2020 U.S. Census, and the presidential election.
