Human Relations Commission confirms March 18 anti‑trafficking workshop; staff to finalize venue and outreach
Summary
The commission moved forward with plans for a March 18 workshop on human trafficking, selecting an Open Space & Mountain Parks community room or East Boulder Rec Center as likely venues, planning 75 printed flyers (Spanish/English), light refreshments and capped registration; staff will confirm the booking and supply city logo for outreach.
The Boulder Human Relations Commission confirmed plans to host a public workshop on human trafficking on March 18 and instructed staff to finalize logistics, outreach materials and translation needs.
Why it matters: Commissioners said the workshop would offer community education and partnership opportunities with schools, nonprofits and district partners to improve local awareness and response to trafficking concerns.
Venue and timing: Christian (staff member Christian, City of Boulder staff) reported two likely city options: a North Boulder Library room (about 18‑person capacity, judged too small) and an Open Space & Mountain Parks community room (roughly 60‑person capacity) that could host a 6–8 p.m. presentation. Christian also said the East Boulder Recreation Center ballroom is a possible alternate but that exact capacity and availability were pending confirmation.
Outreach, language and materials: Commissioners agreed to broadly target "anyone interested in joining the fight to end human trafficking" rather than a narrow professional list to encourage attendance. The commission asked staff to print 75 flyers with at least 50 bilingual (English/Spanish) copies and requested light refreshments be provided. Commissioners volunteered to distribute printed copies and to run digital outreach; Boulder Valley School District staff offered to help promote the event.
Access and registration: Commissioners discussed transit and parking tradeoffs for the proposed venues (East Boulder Rec Center has free parking but a longer walk from bus stops; the Open Space community room is less centrally located and has limited evening lighting on walking routes). Kiara (Commissioner Kiara, Human Relations Commission) said she would add a registration link and commissioners discussed capping registrations to avoid overcapacity.
Next steps: Christian will confirm and reserve the preferred city venue for March 18, send the city logo and room details to the outreach lead, and arrange printing and translated copies. The commission planned to circulate materials and cap registration if demand exceeds room capacity.
Ending: Staff will follow up by email with venue confirmation, the logo and the flyer so commissioners can begin outreach.
