CALL for PAPERS
Deadline:  May 25, 2007 EXTENDED TO JUNE 10, 2007

It is highly encouraged for the workshop to tie into the theme of the conference. Presenters are recommended to provide insight and information related to the Latino population, such as issues regarding health, education, religion, cultural diversity, justice system, and more.

Workshop Format
Each workshop will be approximately 90 minutes in length and should be able to provide hands-on tools for the participants. This could be in the form of worksheets, a roadmap of program implementation, interventions or any other tool that service providers could utilize in working with Latino communities. It is highly recommended for the workshops to be interactive. No program overviews, please. Given the non-profit nature of LSWN, we are unable to offer an honorarium to the presenters. Presenters will need to provide copies of materials for the participants and bring necessary equipment (i.e. laptop, overhead projector, etc.)
