Day Two Highlights of the 2015 NCLR Annual Conference
The always popular Latinas Brunch was the main event of the second day of the 2015 NCLR Annual Conference. It was followed shortly after by our Economy Town Hall, which focused on the income inequality as the great divider in America, and what needs to be done to address it. Together with several workshops and our Nation Latino Family Expo, day two proved to be as eventful and informative as our kickoff.
See highlights from day two of our 2015 gathering.
The day started with the opening of the National Latino Family Expo. There’s one more day of fun to be had, if you’ve missed Saturday or Sunday!
