When Westchester County Executive
Andrew Spano took office in January 1998, he revived the
African American Advisory Board (AAAB.) The
role of the Board is to develop and recommend
effective policies, legislation and/or services to
eliminate discrimination and improve opportunities
for African-Americans and their families.
The AAAB is
organized into committees based upon issues of particular
relevance to the African American community. The
committees include children and families, housing, education,
economic advancement, employment, health and
mental health. Through panel discussions,
exhibitions, special events, correspondence and meetings with
public officials, the AAAB Board will provide feedback
and input to the County Executive and Board of
Legislators on issues impacting the African American
community.
