ELIZABETH,
N.J. --
-The Union County Human Relations Commission held their 8th annual awards
reception earlier this week, honoring individuals and organizations whose
contributions enhance the
spirit and quality of life of the county.
The annual award presentations were held at the Elizabethtown Gas Company
facility on Morris Avenue.
The Union County Human Relations Commission consists of a voluntary group
of Union County residents and professionals, who themselves represent
diverse racial, ethnic, religious, and personal backgrounds.
The Commission’s activities include conflict mediation and
prejudice reduction, bullying and cyber-bullying prevention workshops for
educators, students and the public, and the locally renowned
“Police and Teens Together” high school program.
Educational programs are being explored and developed for host sites
that are a part of the InterFaith Community Network, and Union
County’s houses of workshop are always invited to join the Network.
