RECEIVED <br /> ~Y CITY MANAGER <br /> JUN 0 2005 <br /> <br />Human Rights Commission <br />Supplemental Questionnaire <br />Summer 2004 <br /> <br />Name: Christina <br />Greening <br /> <br />Please respond to the following supplemental questions, specific to the Human Rights <br />Commission, and include with your application. If you choose to answer the questions on a <br />separate sheet of paper, please remember to include your name. <br /> <br /> 1. What do you see as the role of a Human Rights Commissioner? <br /> The role of the Human Rights Commissioner in Eugene is very vital to the essence of our <br /> community. The focus and resources available to this commission are an example of <br /> how dedicated City leadership is to confronting Human Rights violations head on, and to <br /> providing continuous educational and informational opportunities. Thus, creating a <br /> community in Eugene that respects and celebrates all of its citizens. <br /> The role of a commissioner is to represent the citizens of Eugene and to voice the <br /> concerns of the citizens to the City Council. In addition, it is the role of the commissioner <br /> to provide educational and informational opportunities not to just city employees, but to <br /> Eugene, as a whole. Citizens in Eugene look to the commission to help when their <br /> human rights have been violated and they need help with a resolution, they look to the <br /> commission to help the community get together around issues, for example, the Martin <br /> Luther King, Jr. Celebration or the naming of the Cesar Chavez School. <br /> My commitment to the citizens of Eugene is to allow every one to voice their <br /> concerns/issues and to actually listen to and hear what they are saying. I will in turn let <br /> the fellow commissioners know of the concerns/issues out there in the community so that <br /> we may collectively be aware of and if need be deal with a particular situations/s. I am <br /> also committed, to be an active member in the commission, by attending every meeting <br /> and by continuously educating myself in diversity related issues. I currently am an active <br /> member of the Education and Outreach Committee and would continue on with my <br /> participation on that committee, as well. <br /> <br /> <br />
