welcoming people who have come here to Montgomery County from every corner of the globe. I have had the opportunity to work with and for extraordinarily talented and committed people who have travelled here thousands of miles and come from other cultures.
And I didn't even have to move. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

people with whom I have had the pleasure to work. Our Office of Community Partnerships is by government standards pretty tiny. But I am proud of all that we have done. With an attitude of collaboration and great energy, we have been able to have an impact
on the lives of county residents far beyond what one might imagine looking at our small size on the county org chart.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#454545">I am most grateful to our wonderful County Executive Ike Leggett for his friendship and for giving me this opportunity to serve. In a job like mine, I'm supposed
to make the elected boss look good. In fact, it was usually Ike Leggett who made our Office of Community Partnership look good. When he was running for County Executive in 2006, I told people Ike Leggett was the right guy at the right time at the right place.
As Montgomery County was transforming from the traditional, largely white bedroom community of my youth to the vibrant, multicultural community of today, I knew Ike Leggett by virtue of his demeanor and his background and his enormous political skill was the
perfect person to steer us to a time when our county no longer had a majority race or ethnicity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#454545">Harvard professor Robert Putnam famously proclaimed that the greater diversity in a community, the less neighbors trusted each other, the less people voted, the
less they volunteered. Ike Leggett created the Office of Community Partnerships and charged us with bringing fresh faces and new voices to the table without forcing aside those who were rightfully there. Building a bigger table became the metaphor for our
work. We have labored hard every day for twelve years to prove Professor Putnam wrong. We know we are stronger together. We know that politics doesn't have to be a zero sum game. We know we can build community by treating everyone from every different background
with dignity and respect. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#454545">Under Ike Leggett's leadership and on the foundation of extraordinary leaders before him, we have built a special community. We cannot take it for granted. We can
trust that our new Executive and Councilmembers will carry on our welcoming tradition. But we know that democracy takes hard work. We know we must be ever vigilant. There is still plenty to do to reduce the disparities that remain. Keep your sleeves rolled
up and keep pushing forward. We all need to make sure the work of building one of the world's most welcoming communities continues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

of ensuring an accurate count which is critical to making sure our government works best for everyone. With dramatic underfunding and a possible citizenship question, the Caribbean community is at an especially high risk of being undercounted which means unequal representation
along racial line.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#454545">The Greater Washington Community Interfaith Service and Solidarity Gathering drew 5,000 people, both inside and outside, of Adas Israel Congregation, and more than
21,000 shared visually via the livestream. Speakers included Mayor Bowser, VA Governor Northam, MD Governor Hogan, JCRC Exec Dir. Halber, MoCo Interfaith Community Liaison Rev. Kaseman, HIAS Melanie Nezer, and area Rabbis, Cantors and interfaith leaders. It
was important to be together mourning, releasing our anger, praying, singing and experiencing the love that heals and empowers. Pictures include musicians, speakers, congregants in and outside, and the largest group are the faith leaders standing in solidarity
with their Jewish sisters and brothers for the Kaddish prayer for the mourning. We thank JCRC, the Jewish Federation and Adas Israel for organizing and hosting it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
