Participants included refugees from Iraq, Kurdistan, Bosnia, Burma and Somalia, representatives from the local police, county government, Department of Social Services, other resettlement agencies and IIB staff, a total of 23 people. The group agreed to continue as a group, meeting regularly, and to assist in various ways in conflicts occurring between refugees and community agencies and individuals. The next step is to begin tracking the group's activities and determining how it succeeds in assisting residents of Buffalo and the surrounding area. A newsletter is planned.
