14 <br /> Page 2 of 2 April Chang <br /> As the political landscape changes, I would like to do my best to ensure that in our local area, all <br /> of our residents feel welcome and that their concerns and interests are taken into account. <br /> Additionally, growing up here, my Chinese culture was something that was hidden from public <br /> view, and I was heartened to attend the first Chinese New Year festival at University Place on <br /> January 28, 2017. This sort of public acknowledgment of our diverse population and the <br /> cultures among us is enormously beneficial to promoting harmony, cross-cultural understanding, <br /> and self-acceptance for those whose cultures differ from the mainstream. I applaud that this <br /> event occurred through the efforts of a variety of organizations. I would like to contribute to our <br /> community by joining the Human Relations Commission so that I may work to promote cross- <br /> cultural understanding and self-acceptance for minorities of all kinds through the work of the <br /> Commission. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Supplemental Questions: <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br /> Other Comments: <br /> This application was current on: 1/31/2017 9:34:33 AM Date Printed: 8/24/2017 <br />
