standing committees

The Education Committee seeks to ensure that all members of our community have access to quality education; to facilitate the sharing of educational resources for the betterment of the community; and to host events that uplift members of our community from all backgrounds.   We are looking for new members who are passionate about uplifting  residents of Lebanon County through educational outreach, community  events, and the creation & dissemination of easy-to-follow educational materials.  We also seek volunteers to attend and report on school board meetings across the county.   The Education Committee meets at 6:30 pm on the 3rd Thursday of each month. 

The Public Safety & Criminal Justice Committee seeks to ensure that our county's criminal justice system is accountable, protects everyone's constitutional rights, and works for the betterment of the community as a whole.  The Committee has five active working groups:  

(1) The Lebanon County Criminal Justice Advisory Board (LC-CJAB) Working Group,

(2) The Lebanon County Correctional Facility (LCCF) Working Group

(3) City of Lebanon Police Department & Mayor’s Office Working Group,

(4) Working Group on the Other 12 Municipal Police Departments in Lebanon County, and (5) the Pardon Project Working Group.

The PSCJ Committee meets at 7:00 pm on the 2nd & 4th Wednesdays of each month.

The Legal Redress Committee receives complaints of discrimination from members of our community -- whether in employment, housing, education, health, or any other sphere of life protected by civil rights laws -- gathers information from complainants, and recommends avenues for seeking legal redress.  The Committee does not offer legal advice and cannot assist with legal or court fees, but it does aim to point complainants in the right direction so they might successfully seek redress through the legal system.  The Legal Redress Committee meets as circumstances require.

The Membership Committee works to assist the Secretary in recruiting new memberships, soliciting membership renewals, reaching out to lapsed members, and relating activities regarding membership management.  Chaired by Executive Committee member Taelor Norwood, the Membership Committee meets at 6 PM on Zoom on the third Friday of each month.
