Federal officials reach out to Latinos in Phoenix
|
Federal officials representing various departments descended upon Phoenix to hold the White House Hispanic Community Action Summit, an event seeking to open a dialogue between local leaders and residents and the federal government. The event was held in collaboration with Arizona State University (ASU), and attracted 300 plus participants. The summit is part of a series of forums held in various cities across the country where attendants are encouraged to voice their concerns directly with federal decision and policy makers. Attendants were eager to talk and interact with federal officials who work mostly at the regional or national level and had little or no contact at this level with local communities.
