Commission moves to reconvene subcommittee; Together We Dine invited back for September
Summary
Members agreed to reconvene the 25th anniversary subcommittee, gather questions by email, and invite Project Unity/Together We Dine to present again in September to clarify budgeting and logistics for the anniversary event.
Commissioners agreed to reconvene the 25th anniversary subcommittee to collect questions and prepare for a follow‑up with partner organizations. The chair referenced the amended March minutes noting the subcommittee discussed a partnership with Project Unity and Together We Dine; Arthur Grama and others said the group presented previously and should return to answer specific logistical and budget questions such as who pays for food.
A commissioner described the Together We Dine facilitation format used at a prior virtual session: participants brought a meal, were placed in breakout groups with three rounds of structured listening and then reconvened for group sharing—an approach the subcommittee said they might replicate for breakout conversations at the anniversary gathering. Members asked staff to schedule a subcommittee meeting, solicit questions via email, and aim to have the partner back by September.
