Humanities Commission reports Fair Housing Seminar enrollment at 19, new OCCK location
Summary
The Salina Humanities Commission said the Fair Housing Seminar scheduled for April has 19 enrollments, six to seven booth sponsors and a registration deadline of April 18; commissioners urged continued outreach.
The Salina Humanities Commission reported that its Fair Housing Seminar has 19 organizations enrolled, six to seven booth sponsors and a registration deadline of April 18.
Commission staff said the event will be held at OCCK, which has agreed to share training facilities for the seminar. "Yes, we're excited. It's off to a good start," said a commission staff member during the meeting.
The nut graf: commissioners said the seminar's attendance and sponsorships are growing but that the commission wants more participants; the group is aiming for roughly 40–50 enrollments as an ideal target.
In discussion, staff said several late sponsors had signed on, raising the sponsorship total to six or seven with booth commitments. Commissioners and staff described recent outreach efforts: printed flyers, social media posts, and an intern who hung flyers in the community. One commissioner asked whether sessions are recorded; commission staff said full sessions are not recorded to protect participants' proprietary work products, though the city is experimenting with short promotional videos on its TikTok account for outreach.
Commissioners asked the commission to continue pushing enrollment and to publicize the seminar among their contacts. Staff invited commissioners to run booths and offered to supply printed materials when they publish the final schedule.
Ending: staff reiterated the April 18 enrollment deadline and asked commissioners to continue outreach to reach the target attendance.
