MIAMI – The Jamaican Diaspora Southern United States will host a half day mini-conference on Saturday, May 5, 2007, 10am to 2pm, at the Inverrary Hotel, 3501 Inverrary Blvd. in Lauderhill.
All Jamaican and Caribbean community organizations – Alumni, Business, Charitable, Faith-based or cultural – and their representative leaders are invited to attend and participate in break-out groups to discuss various areas of mutual interests including Education, Health, Civic Engagement, Faith-based initiatives, Youth, and Culture.
This forum was previously scheduled for March 31, but was postponed due to a community funeral.
“Jamaicans and other Caribbean people living overseas are turning up the volume of their voice in the Diaspora. It is only with constant and consistent communication that we will be able to pursue collaborative goals and to ensure that action is taken on issues of importance to the Caribbean diaspora,” cites Marlon Hill, Jamaican Diaspora Advisory Board member for the Southern United States.

In January, the Jamaican Diaspora Southern US appointed regional leaders within the different southern states in an effort to encourage the development of active working groups for ongoing progress and development and engage Jamaicans on a grassroots level.
All Jamaican and Caribbean organizations and nationals are invited to attend to share thoughts and ideas of issues important to the Jamaican and Caribbean Diaspora.
