About the Commission
The Human Rights Commission created by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors consists of 12 county residents. The 12 member board has one representative for each Supervisor's District. Each member serves a three-year term. Three positions are appointed by the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors. Annually the Commissioners elect a Chairperson, a Vice-Chairperson, and a Secretary as officers of the Commission.
The Commission takes the approach of not only receiving and investigating complaints alleging a violation of the Human Rights Ordinance, but also of cooperating with the employers, the housing industry and other businesses in the County to make sure we all understand our duty to ensure equal opportunity and equal access.
The Human Rights Commission consists of the following members:
Gloria J. Crawford, Chair
Shahid S. Malik, Vice Chair
Eduardo Conde, Secretary
Bryan W. Hudson, Commissioner
Harry R. Salinas, Commissioner
Josh Shumaker, Commissioner
Denver Supinger, Commissioner
Adnan Bokhari, Commissioner
Glenda Blake, Commissioner
The Commission Meetings are typically held once or twice monthly. The listing below are the current year's meeting minutes. Meeting minutes are posted once approved by a quorum of the Commission.
