Special Announcements:

2nd ANNUAL IDAHO CONFERENCE ON REFUGEES
CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS AND SPONSORSHIPS!

The theme for the 2010 conference is a continuation of the 2009 theme, Strengthening Community Across Cultures. Although the theme may be similar, we are confident that the planning approach this year will offer more unique skill building opportunities, and expand our base of support and knowledge regarding the refugee community in Idaho, and in the United States.
Proposals are due Monday November 2, 2009.
Sponsorship forms are due by December 18, 2009.
Please visit our Conference Page for full details.
