Opening Doors: Community Conversations

GAPP, in collaboration with the Forest Hills School District, is bringing dialogue about community diversity into the public forum. This initiative grew out of a diversity audit conducted by the FHSD during the 2004-05 school year.

Ray Terrell, Ed.D., FHSD diversity consultant, and other business and civic leaders are guiding us in the planning process for "Opening Doors." We need your help too.

We will be using the Study Circles method - a national process designed to bring community members together in dialogue about important issues. Area businesses, religious congregations, civic groups and individuals are encouraged to contact GAPP Executive Director, Louise Lawarre, for more info.
