Hi Joe,

Please distribute the below information to the NFB listserve.

Thank you,

Andrew Rees




am pleased to  announce that Somerset County will host a Diversity Festival 
on October 12 from 11 am to 3 pm in downtown Somerville. The event is free 
and open to the public and there will be games, artist performances, 
exhibits and materials from different community groups, agencies and county 
services, vendors selling different ethnic cuisines, and interactive 
stations focusing on diversity and inclusion.  Please distribute the 
following postcard and the associated translation material to your staff, 
your professional networks and community members. If you would like hard 
copies of the post card, please email Kim 
Cowart.<mailto:cowart at co.somerset.nj.us>

As you already may know, the Somerset County Board of Chosen Freeholders 
adopted a Diversity Statement on September 25, 2018; it is highlighted below 
in  this email.  This statement is the basis for Somerset County's diversity 
initiatives, including the recent training program to provide all employees 
with the tools and skills to deliver services that are respectful of and 
responsive to the beliefs, practices, and cultural needs of Somerset 
County's diverse population.  The ultimate goal of these efforts is to build 
a community that is tolerant and accepting of others and to celebrate all of 
the forms of diversity that are found here in Somerset County.

I look forward to seeing all of you on October 12th!

Michael J. Amorosa

Somerset County Diversity Statement

The County of Somerset is home to a population of promising
individuals from around the world, making Somerset County a
unique   vibrant   community   because   of  its   diversity.   The
County's diversity is among our greatest assets.

Diversity  is  fundamental  to  everything  we  do  in  Somerset
County.  It is inclusive of not only those who look different but
those who may think differently.

When  Somerset  County  recognizes,  values,  and  embraces
diversity,  we  are  recognizing,  valuing  and  embracing  the
uniqueness of each individual.
