Subject: [pwds] CONFERENCE ON EMPLOYMENT FOR LATINOS WITH DISABILITIES


 From the April 2005 Braille Forum

CONFERENCE ON EMPLOYMENT FOR LATINOS WITH DISABILITIES

This year Proyecto Visión is bringing its annual Bridges to Employment
Conference for Latinos with Disabilities to the South. The conference will
take place June 1-3 in Raleigh, N.C. at the Sheraton Raleigh Capital Center
Hotel. Providing a vast array of job connections and technology training
opportunities, the conference is a national forum about issues concerning
Latinos with disabilities. Bridges to Employment is organized by the World
Institute on Disability (WID) through Proyecto Visión, a National Technical
Assistance Center established to connect Latinos with disabilities to the
world of employment.

In addition, this year the American Express Foundation has funded a
day-long Latino Disability Empowerment Forum that will precede the
conference. The forum will take place on June 1 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The
Sheraton Raleigh Capital Center Hotel is offering conference attendees a
room rate of $109 per night (for reservations made before April 30). Call
the Sheraton Raleigh Capital Center Hotel at (800) 325-3535 or (919)
834-9900 for reservations, mentioning you are with the Bridges to
Employment conference.

The $150 conference fee includes the welcome reception, continental
breakfasts, all conference sessions and materials, and the closing
luncheon. Scholarships are available for unemployed or low-income Latinos
with disabilities to cover the conference registration fee. Scholarship
awards are based on financial need and strength of the application. Call
(866) 367-5361 toll-free for scholarship information, or visit
