6 <br /> Page 2 of 2 Frances Castillo <br /> committed to improving conditions in the community and though I no longer practice advocacy <br /> work, membership on this board would nurture my desire to continue to work for a more just <br /> community. I enjoy community building and have worked throughout my life to encourage, <br /> support and build coalitions. I believe in the work of the Human Relations Commission in <br /> breaking down barriers to grow community. People may come from diverse backgrounds but a <br /> shared commonality is the desire for fair treatment, the opportunity to succeed and to be treated <br /> with respect. In instances where community members are treated as less than or impeded in <br /> those goals, I would like to be an advocate to right that wrong. Through my work as a public <br /> defender I was involved in racial justice initiatives and have a keen interest in addressing youth <br /> criminal justice issues and the rights of formerly incarcerated people. Orange County has a <br /> diverse population and with that many needs. I believe serving in this capacity would enable me <br /> to use my skills and empathy to strengthen the community and keep Orange County a great <br /> place to live because from inclusion comes cohesion. A cohesive community is one that can <br /> thrive. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Supplemental Questions: <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br /> Other Comments: <br /> This application was current on: 12/28/2018 9:48:40 AM Date Printed: 12/28/2018 <br />
