Dear CAPIO,

We are all at a loss for words that captures the heavy nature of all that’s going on in our nation. 

However, what holds true is this: We stand against injustice. We stand against racism.  We stand against violence. 

We stand proudly and resolutely for continued and sustained change in our country and hope for equality. 

Communication is part of the democratic process. Being informed is also everyone’s responsibility. Creating understanding through dialogue helps.  We can and have to do more.  

With open, productive conversations, we can work towards taking action and creating change—together. 

And the diversity of our state and nation is what makes us. As communicators and ambassadors for our agencies, we can all be instruments of what is possible. Every one of us has the ability to directly and positively impact the quality of life for the diverse communities we serve.

It is through understanding, sharing and respecting each of our individual values that will give us a chance to fully embrace our humanity. 

From your CAPIO Board of Directors, please stay healthy and safe.
