Indiana Borough Council, Indiana County Commissioner Sherene Hess, and PA State Representative Struzzi are endorsing the formation of a local advisory council to the Pennsylvania Human Resources Commission (PHRC)!
Advisory councils are composed of 8-24 nonpartisan & nonpolitical community members who serve without commission and are committed to helping achieve the goals of the PHRC.
“Indiana Borough began looking to the PHRC as a resource for residents who felt they were discriminated against because of their gender identity or sexual orientation,” said Indiana Borough Vice President Gerald Smith. “This Indiana County Advisory Council will be an independent body, convened by the PHRC. I believe this will help our residents understand their civil rights and provide a direct line to legal resources if they feel those rights have been violated.”
All interested residents of Indiana County are eligible and can apply by sending a letter of interest by mail or email.
Letters of interest are being accepted through August 31, 2020 and should be addressed to:
Carl H. Summerson
PA Human Relations Commission
333 Market St., 8th Floor
Harrisburg, PA 17101,
