UPCOMING PLENARY SESSIONS
Every month from September to June Creciendo Juntos (CJ) organizes a plenary (monthly encounter) open to the public.
The plenaries are typically 90 minutes long, in the form of a workshop, panel, roundtable, or presentation, and include a question and answer or discussion period, and end with announcements. The plenaries are an important communication and training tool, providing useful information about the Latino community and the issues they confront and about programs, events, policy, and resources related to it. Overviews of plenaries are archived at http://www.cj-network.org/sessions.html
Announcements for upcoming plenaries are located at http://www.cj-network.org/comm_ann.html
