4th Annual Summit
Centro Civico of Amsterdam NY
October 22, 2010
Desmond Hotel in Albany, NY
The 3rd Annual Latino Upstate Summit was held on October 23rd from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm with the closure of the event La Liga’s Annual Gala Fundraiser from 7:00 pm to 11:30 pm at the Oncenter Convention Center. The event was a tremendous success!
The Latino Community is growing nationally, and Upstate New York is no exception. The Latino Upstate Summit offered participants the opportunity to better understand the issues of Latinos in this region.
There are many serious issues facing the Latino community. Topics such as Immigration, Youth Development, Health, Education, and Economic Development are just a few of the many issues we discussed at the event.
The forum was the ideal opportunity to enhance one’s knowledge of current issues and trends affecting Latinos and presents a unique chance for networking among professionals in the corporate, government and non-profit sectors.
The third annual Latino Upstate Summit allows Latino Community Based Organizations from Albany, Amsterdam, Buffalo, Rochester,Rome-Utica, and Syracuse to come together to discuss their concerns when serving their communities. Best practices and outcome-based interventions were showcased.
