Annual Reports
In 2009 the South Orange/Maplewood Community Coalition on Race celebrated its thirteenth year of working toward a community where people of all races enjoy the benefits of participation in civic life, all community organizations encourage participation from under-represented groups, and the leadership of civic, governmental, business and community organizations is racially inclusive and values integration in policy and practice. In this 2009 Annual Report, we celebrate the year’s work in pictures. We are so excited to bring you this pictorial of all that has happened in our towns in just one year as our Board, staff, and many devoted, hardworking volunteers engaged in building an integrated community. These pictures truly capture the joy of integration!
The Coalition has been a major force in branding Maplewood and South Orange as inviting places for people of all races to live, work, and play. Together, our Board, staff, and our committee volunteers are responsible for events like:
- The Conversations on Race Forum
The Annual Preschool Open House
The Annual MLK Observance and Weekend of Service
Realtor Coffee & Conversations
Achievement Gap Workshops
The Two Towns Sing-ins and so much more
With the inspirational support of Program Director Audrey Rowe, volunteers work with realtors, neighborhood associations, and manage a second mortgage loan program so that all neighborhoods are open and available to all prospective homebuyers. The marketing committee supports these efforts by placing ads and articles touting the community’s excellent quality of life. And, the Coalition has an active schools committee that works between parents and the district to support success for all students.
As Executive Director and Chair of the Board, we look forward to building on the joy of integration with an even deeper commitment to the idea of community. We welcome you to join us in 2010 as we expand our pro-integrative efforts throughout the community. Read More >
