Task Force Plans Upcoming Cultural Competency Trainings for September and October
The Los Alamos County Inclusivity Task Force convened on August 20, 2025, to discuss upcoming training initiatives aimed at enhancing community inclusivity. The meeting focused on scheduling smaller training sessions in September, October, and November, with the intent to evaluate attendance and feedback before committing to a larger, more expensive training program.

A key point raised was the importance of selecting effective training providers. The task force expressed a preference for vetted organizations, citing past experiences with subpar training sessions. Members highlighted two potential training sources: the Transgender Resource Center of New Mexico and Richard's trainings on cultural awareness and competency. Additionally, a contact from GLSEN, an organization focused on LGBTQ+ affirming public policy and educator training, was mentioned as a valuable resource.

The discussion also included the desire to incorporate diverse topics into future training, such as immigration and bystander training. Task force members emphasized the need for variety and accessibility in the training offerings.

Counselor Wrighty and other members contributed to the conversation, suggesting the inclusion of programs from the historical museum. It was noted that scheduling such events would require advance notice to ensure quorum for task force meetings.

Overall, the meeting underscored the task force's commitment to fostering inclusivity through well-planned and effective training initiatives, with a focus on community engagement and feedback. The next steps involve scheduling the smaller training sessions and gathering further input from community members on effective training resources.
