Human Relations Commission Survey

The Village of Libertyville’s Human Relations Commission (“HRC”), is made up of Libertyville resident volunteers appointed by the Mayor. Its mission is to foster attainable housing, equal opportunity and fair treatment for all residents, and positive relations between racial, ethnic and other groups that make up our community, with the ultimate goal of enhancing all residents’ quality of life. The HRC has developed a survey to help focus its efforts on issues of most importance to residents and is seeking input. The brief survey is confidential. It also includes an option to receive additional information regarding participating in small-group meetings with other residents to share more insights with the HRC.

Responses are due by August 13. The survey may be taken online at www.libertyville.com/HRCSurvey. Paper copies are also available at Village Hall located at 118 W. Cook Avenue. Completed paper surveys may be dropped off in the green mailbox in front of the Village Hall.
