You can see it everyday. Some are disturbed by it. Others simply react, not knowing the true facts.
However people feel, the recent growth of immigrants is creating strong reactions and emotions.
Whether you are for or against immigrants living and working in our community,
this conference is your opportunity to be a part of the conversation!

The International Services Council of Alabama will host a conference which offers a forum for an exchange of ideas and solutions that work at state and local levels, as well as workshops,
which will address specific ideas and issues confronting both communities and immigrants.

The program is designed for government officials, non-government organizations, academics, practitioners as well as teachers, students and people interested in being part of this discussion.
