Task Force plans inclusive training sessions and discusses transportation concerns with James Barela

The Los Alamos County Inclusivity Task Force is gearing up for a series of important discussions and trainings aimed at enhancing community support for individuals with disabilities. During a recent meeting, members highlighted the need for tailored training sessions, particularly focusing on neurodiversity, as emphasized by task force member Doris. She shared insights from a previous training called "A Bus for Us," which addressed disabilities in a relatable way.

Tina, another member, raised a significant point about the need for updates from the county police chief regarding policies on immigrants, especially in light of current issues with ICE. The group agreed to add him to the presentation list for future meetings, ensuring that community concerns are addressed.

In a bid to foster inclusivity, the task force also discussed the importance of transportation in their initiatives. A suggestion was made to invite transportation staff member James Barela to discuss how transportation impacts inclusivity, reflecting the group's commitment to addressing various community needs.

Looking ahead, the task force plans to schedule several trainings, aiming for September to ensure maximum participation. The chair emphasized the importance of taking a thoughtful approach rather than rushing through discussions, indicating a desire for meaningful engagement over quick resolutions.

As the task force continues its work, the focus remains on creating a supportive environment for all community members, with an emphasis on collaboration and open dialogue.
