Human-Civil Rights Enforcement Training Workshop

Continual Improvement….Staying Ahead of the Game: Training for Enforcement Agency Staff and Commissioners

As the saying goes…"The work of a parent is never done." The same can be said of Human/Civil Rights Enforcement Agencies. No matter how many complaints the agency resolves, no matter how much monetary relief you recover for the public or how proactive your Commissioners or Board of Directors are in your community there are still bridges to cross in the journey to eradicate discrimination.

In preparation for the journey one element is often overlooked, that being staff and Commissioner Training. While past civil rights battles have brought substantial legal and economic gains to groups victimized by discrimination, much remains to be done. It is vital therefore, that those working in the human rights field possess the knowledge and skill that will enable them to make an effective contribution to the achievement of justice and equality for all individuals. This millennium is here and who knows all of the exact particulars that lay ahead. What is known from history and experience is that while some things such as legislation change, some things such as the continual need for Professional Staff and Commissioner Training to address change, remain the same.
