Police Civilian Review Board
Gathers was one of 13 candidates under consideration for the Police Civilian Review Board who were invited to participate in a Community Forum on Tuesday, April 24, 2018 at the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center Auditorium. An online survey was launched to collect community input on the 13 candidates under consideration. Ballots were also available to be completed in the City Manager's office and at the Community Forum. It would appear that Gathers submitted the following bio information with his application for consideration as a member of the Police Civilian Review Board: "Don Gathers is a Deacon at First Baptist Church on West Main St, the former Chair of the Blue Ribbon Commission on Race, Memorials & Public Spaces, a Community Activist, a proud Husband and Father, an Executive Committee Member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at UVA and a member of numerous local Activism & Citizens Rights committees."Web.
