Second Heartland AEA-sponsored Immigration Forum

Join us for our 2nd Annual Heartland AEA-sponsored Immigration Forum on February 9, 2010 from 2:45-5:00 p.m. The Immigration Forum is held in conjunction with the Iowa Culture and Language Conference (ICLC) which is being held February 9-10 (with Pre-Conference on February 8) at the Polk County Convention Complex at 501 Grand in Downtown Des Moines.

The Immigration Forum will include a panel of national and local experts who will share facts about refugees and immigrants in Iowa and implications for educators. This rare opportunity to meet representatives knowledgeable on laws and issues related to immigration offers an excellent networking and learning experience for educators and partners in education.

The the Immigration Forum is FREE! Consider bringing a team from your area and complete a registration for each participant. Registration can be done on the Northwest AEA Web site at http://www.nwaea.k12.ia.us/en/upcoming_events/iowa_culture_language_conference/.
