The Columbus Human Rights Commission will have a panel discussion about immigration during the 2019 annual dinner meeting at 6:30 p.m. June 20 at The Commons in downtown Columbus.
Speakers will be Neeraj Kaushal, a social policy professor and chair of the doctoral program at Columbia School of Social Work and Angela Adams, owner and managing attorney of Adams Immigration Law in Carmel where she practices family and employment-based immigration law.
Tickets for the dinner are $30 per person and ticket sales begin Wednesday. Tickets may be purchased at the Human Rights Commission Office, located in Columbus City Hall at 123 Washington St. or online at columbus.in.gov/human-rights/. Tickets for tables of eight are available.
Deadline to purchase tickets is 5 p.m. June 17. Early ticket purchase is recommended as the annual dinner has traditionally sold out. A waiting list will be created in the event of cancellations. The Commons is a wheelchair-accessible facility.
In addition to the presentation by Kaushal and Adams, the recipient of the 2019 William R. Laws Human Rights Award and the winners of the 2019 Benjamin M. King Essay and the J. Irwin Miller Art Contests will be honored at the dinner. The theme for this year’s art and essay contests is “You Belong in Columbus.”
