The Humboldt County Human Rights Commission’s Constructive Conversations committee reported final arrangements for a public workshop on Oct. 22 at the Humboldt Area Foundation Community Center.

Committee members said planned panelists include Supervisor Natalie Arroyo, Eureka City Attorney Robert Black, Fortuna City Manager Amy Nelson and Arcata Council Member Sarah Schafer. The committee urged commissioners to promote the event and encouraged interested residents to register; organizers said registration numbers were modest at the time of the meeting.

The committee confirmed logistics: the event will use the foundation’s community room on Indianola Road and organizers said media have been informed and a registration form is available through the commission’s Facebook page.

Why it matters: The workshop aims to give local officials and residents tools for productive communication about contentious local issues and is part of the commission’s outreach efforts.
