Association for Inclusion Respect and Equity

MISSION:  Working together to promote a community that embraces inclusion, respect, equity, and support for the human dignity of all persons.

VISION:  A committee organization representing rural counties within North East/Central Pennsylvania to help uplift and support historically marginalized people.
