Ferndale, MI-
Affirmations' Multicultural Advisory Committee is extending the period of time in which to collect community perspectives on Affirmations' levels of racial and ethnic inclusion and to begin a series of focus groups. In total, 384 anonymous surveys were completed and included volunteers, community members, board and staff. The survey will be extended through Jan. 31, 2010 and is available on the homepage of Affirmations' website. "After an initial review of the data, we found that 90% of our anonymous community member respondents were Caucasian," said MAC member Tamara Halliburton. "In order to make the data effective, we'd like the racial breakdown to be reflective of our greater Detroit Metropolitan area and that means seeking higher levels of participation from people of color."
