Dear Neighbor,
Soon after being elected into office in May of 2003, I joined the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO). NALEO is the leadership organization with more than 6,000 Latino elected and appointed officials. NALEO is non-partisan and facilitates the full participation of Latinos in the American political process from citizenship to public service. Throughout the years, I have benefited greatly from the institutes, collaboration and training opportunities the organization has made available. Today, I am proud to serve on the NALEO Board of Directors.
From June 21 - 23, 2012, I will attend the NALEO 29th Annual Conference (A.K.A. The Latino Convention) at Disney's Contemporary Resort in Florida. 1,000 Latino officials representing millions of Americans across the country will participate in sessions designed to enhance governance skills. Participants will gain a better understanding of critical issues like; education, healthcare, financial empowerment and the influence of the Latinos in American policy.
  President Barack Obama
will address the nation's Latino leadership on Friday, June 22.
Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney will speak to the group on Thursday June 21st. This historic event will be the first time both Obama and Romney address Latino elected officials regarding issues facing all Americans.
Last Friday the Obama administration announced the new policy to stop deporting and begin granting work permits to younger illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children and have since led law-abiding lives. This election-year initiative addresses a top priority of an influential Latino electorate that has been vocal in its opposition to the administration's deportation policies. This event will be a focal point of the upcoming presidential election.
For information about NALEO or The Latino Convention go to: www.naleo.org/annualconference.
Respectfully,
Alderman Rey Colón
City of Chicago, 35th Ward
