Community Dialogue on Economic Opportunity and Integration
Presented by the World Affairs Council of Maine in special partnership with the Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition
We are excited to announce a forum series on a critically important issue globally and locally - immigration and its potential for very positive impacts on the Greater Portland region, particularly on the economy. This project, Celebrating Immigration, will undertake a community dialogue through a series of event between January and June 2015. Involving many sectors in the community dialogue, including our members, immigrant groups, government, nonprofit, business, labor, faith, and philanthropy, we will examine barriers to economic opportunity and best strategies and approaches to fully integrate immigrants into the regional economy.
