News Release

(June 6, 2023) Rochester, NY –    

The Workforce Diversity Network (WDN) is proud to announce that they have selected three non-profit organizations in the Rochester area to receive a financial incentive from funds that were initially generated from the International Underground Railroad Conference in 2007. The conference, which was an original collaboration between Dr. David Anderson and the WDN, raised the funds with the intention of providing more programming opportunities for Dr. Anderson. However, as the frequency of programming decreased over the years, the decision was made to share the available funds with other non-profits that share similar values and will continue to champion for racial equity in our area.
