Community Alliance for Diversity
There are many folks in our community that find our county less than welcoming. They are discriminated against because of their race, culture, ethnicity, faith, sexual orientation, and physical and mental abilities. The Community Alliance for Diversity (CAD) believes that our community should offer a safe and supportive home to everyone who might wish to live here. We offer many programs and resources that provide support for diverse people and that educate us all about local discrimination problems and how to solve them.
