Analysis:
The Human Relations Task Force (HRTF) was formed in April 1997 with a mission to "promote and
celebrate diversity in our community through education and understanding." Currently the HRTF
has one vacancy due to an unscheduled resignation. Press releases were sent out to advertise the
vacancy, as well as notices on the City's website, Channel 3, social media, and the posting boards
at City Hall and the Central Library. As a result of this process, the following individual is being
recommended for appointment.
Michelle Gale -Nelson — Ms. Gale -Nelson is a Clinical Technology Resource Registered Nurse
(RN). She has a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from Western Governor's University in Salt
Lake City, Utah and is pursuing her Master of Science degree in Nursing Leadership and
Management. She has been involved in a number of community programs, including mission trips
and serving in Kansas City's largest homeless shelter. When asked why she wishes to serve on
the HRTF, she responded "I have a long history of community service and I desire to continue that
in my new home town."
