Los Angeles, CA - The nation’s largest association of Latino elected and appointed officials will meet in Orlando, Florida in June to consider the issues facing the community and nation in a presidential election season when Hispanic voters are poised to exercise unprecedented political influence.
The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) will hold its annual conference this year in a changed electoral environment in which the new primary calendar and innovative programs to boost Latino voter engagement will place the community at the forefront of the political debate. The gathering will bring nearly 1,000 Hispanic leaders from across the nation, at every level of elected office, together with leading experts to discuss a wide range of issues including immigration, education, home ownership, climate change and the 2008 election outlook.
NALEO has invited the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates to participate in Conference forums on the pressing issues facing the nation. Details to follow in subsequent advisories.
