Dear WISDOM Sisters:
This morning WISDOM Vice President Trish Harris was honored as one of 41 diversity champions at the Race Relations and Diversity Task Force’s Ninth Annual Diversity Champion Honor Roll Breakfast as someone who has worked hard to welcome diversity and to build and maintain an open community which will not tolerate racism or prejudice. WISDOM wrote the following words to describe Trish’s accomplishments.
“Patricia Harris is the co-founder of WISDOM (Women’s Interfaith Solutions for Dialogue and Outreach in MetroDetroit) and the vice-president of this newly formed non-profit. WISDOM’s mission is to give women of different faith traditions opportunities to listen to each other, respect each other’s differences, and take action towards change by establishing venues for community service projects and educational events at our diverse places of worship. Trish has worked tirelessly to structure our new board of directors, add new membership and incorporate powerful programming. Because of Trish’s dedication and creativity, WISDOM has been energized to successfully embrace our diversity here in Metro Detroit.”
Congratulations Trish!! Please take a look at the attached picture of Trish and the WISDOM board members that honored her at the breakfast.
