Description
Objective
We would like to meet with agency staff that coordinate services that support immigrants, newcomers, and refugees from diverse communities. All three research studies include surveys created to gather community input and experiences. This Symposium is an opportunity for staff to get to know the research studies and for us to support the promotion of the surveys at organizations and to clients. There will be Q&A and networking opportunities to ask presenters questions, and for us to learn about initiatives at other agencies. All agencies working with South Asian communities are encouraged to send one (maximum two) staff to this event.
