Diversity Research and Action Center

http://cehd.gmu.edu/drac/

Throughout Northern Virginia a wide range of public and private human service organizations serve the ethnically and racially diverse population. However, these organizations work relatively independently and carry out their work without the ability to learn or collaborate with other regional organizations doing similar work with different populations.

Fred Bemak and Frank Blechman recognized this deficiency and met in 2004 to examine the need for and development of an organization to coordinate diversity services in Northern Virginia and to integrate research, consulting, and action. Bemak and Blechman met with leaders of human service organizations to discuss this endeavor. There was unanimous agreement that there was a need for such an organization. Thus the Diversity Research and Action Center was created.
