Celebrating Appleton's Diversity.
The City of Appleton has a full-time Diversity Coordinator located in the Mayor's office originally titled The Intercultural Relations Coordinator (IRC). This position was established in 1997 by the Appleton Police Department to proactively address issues in the community that affected culturally diverse populations.
The Diversity Coordinator will establish effective relations with members of diverse communities, will develop and coordinate diversity training programs both internally and externally, and will aid in the recruitment and retention of diverse, qualified candidates.
The Diversity Coordinator works with members of our diverse community through advisory committees, outreach and advocacy. The City of Appleton will assertively address issues that are identified as highest priority by diverse communities.
The Diversity Coordinator is affiliated with several diversity organizations in the community. The Diversity Coordinator continues to build relationships and strengthen those already established with service oriented organizations which serve culturally diverse populations.
EVENTS
Juneteenth Appleton 2010
On Sunday, June 27, the City of Appleton joined African Heritage, Inc. and Dreem Team Promotions held the city's first Juneteenth event at Houdini Plaza from 10-5. The rain held off for this amazing event and we kicked it off with a gospel concert followed by an afternoon of entertainment that included performances by Unity the Band, Unified Soul, the Right On jazz band and Kappa Alpha Psi stepping team from Milwaukee.
We had over 45 booths that included information booths along with those selling Soul food and African products. Mayor Hanna read his Juneteenth Proclamation and we had words from elected officials about the importance of this day.
Look for information about Juneteenth 2011 soon! For questions, contact Kathy Flores at (920) 832-1564.
