Overview
The Community Relations Advisory Committee (C-RAC) was organized on October 1, 2016 to address community issues involving prejudice or discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, creed or religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability or medical condition. The committee is a collaboration between New Hanover County and the City of Wilmington. Learn more in the panels below and in the
The C-RAC will provide accommodations, such as larger print agendas and an interpreter, upon adequate request for meetings and events.
Note: The C-RAC Community Resource Outreach site at the downtown library, in addition to all committee / subcommittee meetings, has been temporarily suspended due to Covid-19. Updates to the location of the Outreach site will be posted when available. All individuals are welcome to email your form for submission, but all in-person meetings are temporarily suspended.
C-RAC will be hosting quarterly “Meet and Greets” throughout the county to inform residents of who the C-RAC is, what it does, and how it assists community members with issues related to prejudice and discrimination. More information will be available shortly.
