Description
Chesterfield County Assistant Director of Citizen information and Resources Kim Conley presents a Black History Month review and USCAA National Basketball Championship update to the Board of Supervisors on March 9, 2022.
A
Next,
I'd
like
to
introduce
kimberly
connolly
assistant
director
for
citizen
information
and
resource
she's
been
quite
busy
over
the
last
month
in
our
partnership
with
virginia
state
university
in
the
various
black
history
events
for
black
history
month,
and
I
was
able
to
partake
in
two
of
them
and
again
learn
something
at
every
time
I
go
to
them,
and
she'll
also
follow
up
with
actually
something
special.
That's
going
on
at
virginia
state
university
this
week.
B
B
B
It
is
important
to
educate
our
community
on
the
rich
history
within
chesterfield
county
and
the
legacy
of
african
americans
in
our
community.
A
dynamic
team,
some
of
who
are
here
with
me
today,
began
month
meeting
monthly
last
summer,
planning
programs
contacting
speakers
and
presenters
and
creating
activities.
B
They
also
learned
about
urban
farming
and
engaged
in
an
eye-opening
discussion
on
the
opioid
crisis,
along
with
other
interesting
topics,
the
annual
scholarship
recognition
program,
our
signature
program
was
held
friday
february
18th
and
it
was
emceed
by
leland,
pender
anchor
and
reporter
with
wtvr
channel
six
six.
Twenty
five
hundred
dollar
scholarships
were
awarded
that
day
to
deserving
chesterfield
county
high
school
seniors,
who
plan
to
attend
a
virginia
college
or
university.
B
Dr
lauren
powell,
former
director
of
the
office
of
health
equity,
shared
a
moving
and
inspirational
message
with
our
students
and
community.
There
were
more
than
20
programs
and
activities
scheduled
virtually
and
in
person.
Throughout
the
county
we
had
more
than
750
participants
and
garnered
a
thousand
plus
views
on
social
media.
B
As
you
can
see
from
the
photos
being
highlighted
today,
the
programs
were
engaging
educational
and
well
attended
by
the
community.
We
secured
outstanding
presenters
with
topics
that
were
relevant
and
important
to
our
residents.
We
continue
to
hear
positive
feedback
from
the
programs
presented
in
february.
B
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
acknowledge
these
activities
would
not
have
been
possible
without
the
following
committee.
