Human Rights Training Options – The Commission discussed the two different
options for the State of Kentucky Human Rights Commission trainings. It was
decided that spreading out the trainings over a couple of days would be better
than all training in one day. We set the dates of October 11, 2023, October 18,
2023, and November 8, 2023, all at 11:30 am, at City Hall in the Training Room. We
plan to request the trainer to come here for at least one date, and virtual for two.
