Enacted by an executive order condemning racism, Anne Arundel County Executive Steve Schuh created the proactive community ambassador program called Anne Arundel United to unite the County against hatred and build greater understanding. Anne Arundel United is a community outreach campaign overseen by the Community and Minority Outreach Officer Derek Matthews, to engage every citizen and community in the fight against hatred through: • A community ambassador program charged with addressing incidents of racial controversy and bringing communities together to better understand each other’s viewpoints. • Educational materials that will be made available to every educational institution and community organization in the County. • A social media campaign encouraging engagement, building better community interaction, and celebrating diversity.
