LAST CALL FOR NOMINATIONS!
We have the following openings on our Executive Leadership Team:
We will have a short turn around on the nomination process to get bios/pictures up on the website and open the election. We will be reaching out to nominees first thing Monday morning and will need bios (500 words or less) and pictures by noon, on Monday, June 9. To help expedite this, if you are nominating someone else, please reach out to them and give them a heads up so they can consider whether to accept the nomination, prepare a brief bio, and find a picture if they choose to have one posted on the website.
The special election will be open for two weeks.
June General Meeting
Join us for the general membership meeting on June 11! We will announce your newly elected Executive Leadership Team members. We will also have guest speakers from the Attorney General's Office (AGO) who will present on the Anti-Hate Hotline.
"The Anti-Hate Policy Team at the AGO was created in July 2024. The team of 4 sits within the Policy Division at the AGO and staffs 2 bodies of work assigned by the Legislature during the 2024 Legislative Session: the Hate Crimes & Bias Incidents Hotline and the Domestic Extremism & Mass Violence Task Force. The Hate Crimes & Bias Incidents Hotline is a non-emergency resource line housed within the AGO that receives reports of hate or bias and provides information and referrals to services. The hotline will be operational in Clark, King, and Spokane counties on July 1, 2025, and will expand to be operational statewide by January 1, 2027. The Domestic Extremism & Mass Violence Task Force will provide recommendations to the Legislature to establish a comprehensive public health and community-based framework to combat extremism and mass violence by December 1, 2026. The Anti-Hate team can be contacted at ."
