Hello Friends:
As the Director of the Lincoln Commission on Human Rights I want to welcome you to our new and improved web site. Our goal is to provide information regarding our agency in a very user friendly and appealing manner.
If you are looking for informational resources, then you will love our new site. All of our brochures, pamphlets and flyers are available to be downloaded and then used in your organizations, agencies or for personal use. All past issues of "ONE LINCOLN" our quarterly newsletter are also available online. In addition, the link to our monthly television program, "ONE LINCOLN", is available. In this widely viewed program we have dealt with topics regarding equal access, equity and diversity. Our past Annual Reports are available, along with information regarding our outreach efforts throughout the Lincoln community.
One of our important missions is to provide education regarding access, equity and diversity. If you have any questions regarding these matters or you would like for us to come and speak to your group, organization, faith community or agency, just give us a call. We will work with you to meet your needs.
In addition; this office is tasked with providing leadership in the development of an inclusive and supportive city climate. This office serves as the civil rights division of the city by providing educational seminars on inclusiveness, the Americans with Disability Act, non-discrimination within County and City government.
As technology has changed, so have we. We felt it important to update and provide more accessible information to you, our customers and clients. In addition to revamping this web site, after much discussion, we have disconnected our TDD. We have found that many of our deaf or hearing impaired customers no longer use this type of technology, but rather are connected to Video Nebraska Relay System. We believe this was a good choice and is part of our improving technology and providing service to our community.
As our community grows, as technology improves, as the needs of our community change, so must we. I believe we are continuing in these efforts each and every day. That is why we have also added our initial intake forms to the web site. These can be downloaded and completed prior to meeting with one of our investigators, streamlining the whole process.
I want to thank the LCHR Team for their work in updating this web site. If you have any suggestions, questions or comments, please give us a call. Let's come together before we are torn apart.
Larry Williams
Director/EOO
