The commission’s mission is to proactively partner with government, business, educators, religious, service, and other organizations to promote a community of harmony and respect for the rights and dignity of all.

Each member is expected to attend at least one meeting per month in the evenings, and devote approximately five hours per month to commission business outside of the meetings.
