The Rock Hill City Council appoints Dr. Brown to serve on the "No Room For Racism Committee."   

May 2009: Community involvement is important for a lot of good reasons.  Being in chiropractic practice increases this responsibility and as a relative newcomer to Rock Hill, Dr. Brown is very conscious of the importance of participation.  Sometimes this brings one into leadership roles, but he feels this is important to really make a difference in the world.  After all, making a difference is what chiropractic is all about.  While visiting with Ms. Carol Harvey, who works in utility accounts management at City Hall, he asked her for advice on getting to know people and becoming active as a volunteer in the community.  Ms. Harvey was a wealth of information and provided Dr. Brown with several directions that she was aware of where need exists for citizens to become involved.  She made a number of very helpful suggestions including becoming a volunteer with the Catawba Area Coalition for the Homeless.  

This committee is one of the various Boards and Commissions which the City of Rock Hill considers essential to its success.  Persons serving on Boards and Commissions are volunteers who have demonstrated their knowledge and commitment to improving the community.  While serving as the academic officer at a chiropractic college Dr. Brown was a member of the Diversity Committee, a group focused on improving the college community and addressing issues that arose as the college dramatically increased its minority enrollment.  To learn how these skills might be useful in Rock Hill he attended the course, "Inside Rock Hill" a 10 week civics course put on by and all about the city.  Asked about the civics course, Dr. Brown had this to say, "It was extraordinary. The City of Rock Hill is to be commended for this exceptional outreach to educate its citizens.  All of the people involved in presenting and facilitating the course are top notch and dedicated.  The information was enlightening and in many ways it was fascinating to learn how much is going on here.  The people of Rock Hill should be proud to know that their city leadership is so comitted and their city employees are so competent."

The No Room for Racism Committee fosters relationships among persons of diverse social, cultural and racial backgrounds and celebrates our common interests in order to create a community where citizens work to overcome racism. This Committee was formed on April 22, 1998.
