Orange County Health Department People of Color Caucus
Friday, October 25 2019
1pm to 2pm
Southern Human Services Building – Room D
Good morning everyone!
This is a reminder that our People of Color Caucus will be held today from 1pm - 2pm at Southern, Room D. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend today, due to me being sick.
I didn't want to cancel, as we had to reschedule our meeting from last week to this week, but people are welcome to still meet, as the room is reserved.
Our next meeting will be held on November 6, from 12pm-1pm, at Whitted (BOH room).

All people of color who have completed REI’s Phase l workshop, Latinx Challenge, and/or training with OpenSource Leadership Strategies, Inc. are invited and encouraged to attend. For newer participants, please see our purpose outlined below – we look forward to welcoming you to our caucus!
And as usual, we hope the analysis from REI will help inform what we share, and we intend to create a protected space to speak openly, learn from one another, and heal together.
