Board

The City of Dayton Human Relations Council Board of Directors are critical to fulfilling the mission of the organization. Members not only identify areas of concern that challenge inter-group relations, but also exists to hear allegations of discrimination in housing, employment, public accommodation or credit and determine whether or not discrimination has occurred against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, ancestry, national origin, place of birth, age, marital status, familial status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.

The Board also makes decisions on appeals to Procurement Enhancement Program (PEP) certification denials. Board members can serve up to two consecutive three-year terms. Members who have served two consecutive three-year terms are only eligible to serve again if they have not served on the Board in the past 12 months.
