ECDC’s 16th Annual Conference and Banquet
African Refugees and Immigrants: Challenges,
Changes, and Champions

May 3-5, 2010
Holiday Inn Ballston
Arlington, VA

Our annual conference addresses new strategies for working with the African refugee and immigrant community. Sessions will include discussions on the crises in Africa; policy updates from government officials; workshops on health and human services; and new ways of approaching community partnerships. The conference typically attracts over 250 people from African community-based organizations; federal, state, and local government agencies; refugee service providers; think tanks; academia; and African newcomers. Participants will engage in panels, workshops, and discussions in addressing ways to improve important services provided to newcomers from Africa. There will also be time to network and share experiences.
