Concord DEI Commission sets October 15 date for survey results, untangles fall calendar. Members approved July 9 and August 1 minutes by roll-call vote and learned nominee Marla Iyasere is expected to be appointed to the commission September 28. Select Board liaison Mary Gamba reported the Novo project broke ground that morning, saying it "will bring fifty affordable units to town." The commission settled a scheduling dispute, agreeing to present survey results virtually at noon October 15 before a 4:30 p.m. public community coffee the same day.
Member Jimmy Shue pushed for a December Privilege Walk date, saying "it's a very simple exercise, but it's very powerful," while an Islamophobia training featuring speaker Petra Al-Sufi of the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding was set for November 12. Joe Palumbo announced a Black Heritage Trail dedication for noon October 22 in Monument Square.
