Welcome to NAHRW

The National Association of Human Rights Workers (NAHRW) is an organization of individuals committed to providing education, training, research, networking, and professional development to its members in order to enable them to foster equality within a diverse society.

NAHRW aims to encourage the collection, compilation and dissemination of information and research among organizations and individuals engaged in the improvement of intergroup relations; to advance generally the science, process and art of intergroup relations and to improve the standards of work in that field, advancing technical and professional knowledge, standards and practices.

The NAHRW Annual Training Conference is the nation's leading human and civil rights workers conference. The conference is known for delivering the latest, most useful and easily implemented strategies for ridding our nation of unlawful discrimination.

Annual meeting

The annual meeting of the National Association of Human Rights Workers is scheduled to be held in Atlanta, Georgia on Monday and Tuesday evenings, October 19 and 20, 2009. Some of you are aware that the HUD Region Four FHEO office will hold a leadership and training session the same week (see e-mail below from Linda Connelly). A good number of you are scheduled to be present for the HUD meeting and so we will piggy-back off that meeting to hold our annual meeting during the evenings of the 19th and the 20th.

HUD is still working to secure a hotel for the training and you will be notified as soon as the hotel is confirmed. Please hold off on your airline reservations until we get word on the hotel site. Again, we will let you know as soon as we hear back from HUD on this.

At the annual meeting we will:

· Conduct NAHRW business normally associated with the annual meeting

· Transition to a new president

· Certify the election of new officers (including a president-elect), board members and regional vice-presidents (the election process is currently underway under the leadership of LaTerrie Ward and Judia Brown)

· Approve resolutions - see attachment and please forward any others you may have to Delilah Donaldson

· Discuss our relationship with IAOHRA and plans for the 2010 conference year

Additional details on the 2009 annual meeting will be forthcoming and we hope to see as many of you there as possible considering the travel restrictions in place by most of our local jurisdictions.

Please call me at 704.336.2195 if you have any questions and please respond to this e-mail to let us know of your plans to come to Atlanta so that we may plan accordingly.
