    Inclusive Communities: Policies and Procedures to Address Discrimination

    The issue of discrimination has become a laser focus over the past several years in organizations big and small, profit and nonprofit. Community association board members and managers have been wondering: What can be done to help make our communities better and safer places for all residents? Based on a program that was awarded the best manuscript at the 2021 Community Association Law Seminar, this webinar will provide specific guidance and tools to help community leaders recognize when interactions in the community are considered harassment under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Participants will learn how to develop a process for appropriately addressing these situations and ensuring that the community moves toward becoming a more welcoming environment.
