NOTE OF "THANKS" FROM CHRC'S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR:

  Ericka King-Betts

  Thanks again to the staff and Board of the Cincinnati's Human Relations Commission (CHRC) for hosting the 2013 NAHRW Midwestern Regional Conference. The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati was an excellent location and beautiful event center for the conference. The sessions were extremely valuable and the presenters were well versed in their subject matter. But what was most important was the camaraderie and networking during the conference among professionals and others with an interest in the field.
  
  Individuals across multiple states were educated in the areas of modern day human and civil rights with specific emphasis upon equal employment, fair housing, criminal justice, youth engagement, police and community relations, disability rights, racial reconciliation, cultural awareness, human trafficking, education, community organizing, diversity and inclusion.
  
  Again, my compliments and sincere thanks to the CHRC staff, Board and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center for everyone’s hard work in hosting and putting this excellent event together.
