The mission of the CRB is effectively carried
out through the board's committees listed below:
Law Enforcement Committee
One of the primary missions of the Community
Relations Board is to intervene and contain community
tensions. This committee works proactively to identify
and relieve inter-group conflicts before crisis arise
and to develop bridges of understanding, communication,
and mutual respect. Programs &
Community Outreach Committee
The Programs &
Community Outreach Committee's primary objective is to
become knowledgeable about the various neighborhoods,
ethnic groups, social issues and leadership groups
within the City of Miami; in efforts of developing
events, educational & social programs, and special
projects to diminish community tension and improve
inter-group relations. Through this committee, the
Community Relations Board (CRB) has developed the
Student Participation and NET Liaison initiatives. The
goal of Student Participation initiative is to involve
high school students in the work of the CRB. This
initiative serves as a catalyst for dialogue between the
school community and the City Manager's Office. Through
the NET Liaison initiative the CRB is able to identify
neighborhood concerns and needs.
Nominating Committee
The CRB is the only board that has a
nominating committee which is responsible for
making recommendations to the City of Miami
Commissioners for potential candidates to serve
on the CRB. Nominees are submitted to the City
Clerk to be included on a city commission
meeting agenda for appointment. This committee
is comprised of current board members.
If you are interested in serving on the
Board, please submit your
application.
