Deaf People of Color Conference Update
June 27, 2010
News Submitted by www.deafpeopleofcolor.org
The Second National Deaf People of Color Conference is slated for June 25 through 27, 2010, in Portland, Oregon. This exciting event will feature workshops, presentations, and a banquet gala (with entertainment).
Because of the current economic crisis and the hardships it's caused for Deaf people of color, the Conference registration fee has been reduced from $400 to $250. The registration deadline has been extended to May 30, 2010.
Yes, that's right–only $250 for registration!
Rooms at the DoubleTree Portland can be reserved until May 23, so please don't delay.
To save even more money, you can share a room at the DoubleTree. Two persons can comfortably share a single room, bringing down the cost per person to a reasonable $75 per night.
Please share this with the members of your organizations. There IS strength in numbers, and by being there, we'll make history.
Tell your members, colleagues, and friends about the Second National Deaf People of Color Conference. Register by May 30 to save money. Again, the registration fee is only $250.
