The County Board of Supervisors re-established the Leon L. Williams San Diego County Human Relations Commission (HRC) in May 2020 with the mission to promote positive human relations, respect, and the integrity of every individual regardless of gender, religion, culture, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, or citizenship status.

Since forming, the HRC, a 31 seat board, has hosted over 33 public meetings, developed the mission of the Office of Equity and Racial Justice and assisted in recruiting its director, established several subcommittees  and finalized its strategic plan.

And in December, the HRC hosted its first-ever awards ceremony to recognize local community members who have gone above and beyond to promote diversity in the region.
