Business Meeting - October 1, 1985
Absent: Williamson, Kwapick
Minutes of September 3, 1985 accepted.
No report from League board meeting.
Human Rights Award
Much discussion; need to assess where we should put emphasis .
Someone in the community? Define a "ministry" vs action on
behalf of human rights. What kinds of services would be the
types of services that are extraordinary or badly needed in
this area (identify by need (s) ) .
Contact Voluntary Action Center for brochure and forms.
Check with Bloomington to see what they have done and how they
did it. Tell them we are thinking of giving an award/recognize
someone in our community and give visibility to our commission.
What help can you give us? Forms? Criteria/methods?
Tom Kuster would also be of help here.
Old Business
No Fault Grievance training. Three of our members have signed
up but have heard nothing from the State .
Commissioner Linda Johnson, State Department of Human Rights
was on the air. NO backlog of cases . Motion: Congratulate
the Commissioner and the staff for a job well done. Approved.
(tell her about HR award and what we are trying to do) .
Ask the Chair to write article for HR Day Observance; 1. should
point out the significance of the day to our community and ask
them to participate in the "celebration" and 2. Inform on role
of the commission and our NFG function.
NFG Case Update
Rostron: August. 3M employee; age discrimination. Surprised
that we had contacted him; charge is two years old; no need for
commission involvement.
