The
Tenth Annual Strengthening and Valuing Latino/a Communities
in Iowa conference is currently in the planning stages. The
conference is coordinated by a statewide volunteer planning
committee and The University of Iowa School of Social Work.
It is made possible through the generous support of numerous
sponsors and many other local and state organizations. The main
conference is held on a Saturday during the Fall. In addition,
a pre-conference Professional Development Training Institute,
geared primarily to professionals in education, social services,
community development and advocacy, is held on the Friday before
the conference. The Youth Summit features workshops and cultural
programs designed for junior and senior high school students.
The
Strengthening and Valuing Latino/a Communities in Iowa conference
is an opportunity to explore the changing demographics and dynamics
of Latina/o communities in Iowa, as well as, the responsiveness
of policy makers, business leaders and community-based organizations
to the fastest growing population in Iowa. The conference has
grown to be a cherished gathering of Latinos and non-Latinos
as a place to emphasize culture as a strength and provide networking
opportunities for Latino/a leaders who live and work in Iowa.
For
additional information and registration, please contact the University
of Iowa School of Social Work toll-free at 866-778-5819, or via
email at: latino-conference@uiowa.edu.
