COCONINO COUNTY — At their most recent meeting on Tuesday, Jan.14, the Coconino County Board of Supervisors (Board) reappointed two long-time members of the County’s African Diaspora Advisory Council (ADAC).
Deborah Harris has lived in Flagstaff and served her community for many years, most recently serving two years on City Council. Her other contributions include assisting in developing the Southside Neighborhood Plan and securing a grant to establish the Murdoch Community Center as one of three Resilience Hubs in the City. She is also a founding member of ADAC, having served consistently on the Council since its creation in 2002.
Khara House was appointed to the Flagstaff City Council in May 2022, and elected to a four-year term that year. After teaching at Northern Arizona University, she began a career in multifamily housing in 2013. Her passion for service and community engagement has led to membership with NAACP Flagstaff, the Southside Community Association, NAMI Flagstaff, Flagstaff Young Professionals, and several other community and service organizations. She currently serves as Chairperson of ADAC.
The Coconino County African Diaspora Advisory Council was established in 2002 by the Board of Supervisors. The Council was created to provide an official liaison and communication link between the African American community and the Board. Prior to 2020, the Council was known as the African American Advisory Council.
