Hudson Diversity Action Council Announces New Leadership

We are thrilled to announce that Renata Moreira, formerly our Vice President of Community Outreach, has agreed to step up and work alongside Walt Boraczek as the Co-Chair of Hudson Diversity Action Council. Going forward, Boraczek will also assume the title Co-Chair, and Russell Presgraves, formerly our VP of Operations, will serve as Vice Chair. This new strategy will help to ensure that the vision and the work of Hudson Diversity Action Council will be able to continue apart from the involvement of any single person, and hopefully continue far beyond all of us.   

Renata has been a driving force behind the tremendous success we have seen in our first year. 

Hudson Diversity Action Council has a New Home

Hudson Diversity has moved to Hudson Pride Connections at 32 Jones Street in Jersey City near Journal Square.
