SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard | 2019-02-27 | 1 | Approved MEETING MINUTES SPECIAL MEETING OF THE SOCIAL SERVICE HUMAN RELATIONS BOARD WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2019 1. CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL Board President Audrey Hyman called the meeting to order at 7:02 p.m. President Hyman read the following Season for Nonviolence quote of the day for Wednesday, February 27: "Today's principle of nonviolence is Reconciliation. Nonviolence seeks reconciliation and understanding with the opponent. Nonviolence does not seek to defeat the opponent. Nonviolence is directed against evil systems, oppressive policies, and unjust acts, but not against persons. Civil rights activist John M. Perkins says, "There is no reconciliation until you recognize the dignity of the other, until you see their view- you have to enter into the pain of the people. You've got to feel their need." Roll Call: Boardmembers Audrey Hyman (President), Cheryl Harawitz, Kale Jenks, Claudia Medina, and Mark Sorensen Absent: Boardmember Christine Chilcott (Vice-President) 2. PUBLIC COMMENTS Dan Ashbrook from Legal Assistance for Seniors (LAS) thanked the Board for their support.
