What is a Community of Respect®?
A place where individuals appreciate each other's differences and work together to create an atmosphere of respect and understanding.
What is The Community of Respect® Program?
The Community of Respect® (COR) Program provides the tools and resources to help individuals and organizations fight prejudice, bigotry, discrimination and engender respect and appreciation for diversity. Inspired by the Anti-Defamation League's (ADL's) successful No Place for Hate® school campaign, Houston Mayor Bill White and Sugar Land Mayor David Wallace serve as honorary co-chairs of this community-wide collaborative and have challenged their cities to become Communities of Respect.
What is the HMSDC doing to implement COR?
The Council has signed a formal resolution of respect that will be framed and showcased in the front office in the next few days. The employees at the HMSDC have committed to participate in a series of cultural events in order to gain a new appreciation for other cultures. Our intern, Sallyann Zhou, plans on educating us on her native Chinese culture by sharing facts and traditions.
Stay tuned...
The Council challenges you to adopt this program to improve your business culture. For more information please visit http://www.communityofrespect.org/
