Cultural Engagement Diversity and Arts Committee

About

Millburn Township is a community comprised of people with a wide variety of faiths, philosophies and backgrounds hoping to become stronger and more cohesive by embracing and celebrating its diversity.

The Cultural Engagement Diversity and Arts Committee (CEDA) will share the rich background of our community and serve as a resource for various diversity-based needs within the township. CEDA will also assist local organizations in highlighting programs that recognize and showcase culture and art present in Millburn Township, as well as overseeing requests for visual art placement in the community.
