ANNUAL SUMMIT
The goal of our 2020 virtual summit was to share information and discuss challenges and opportunities serving immigrants and refugees in times of uncertainty. Our speakers and panelists shared best practices, innovations, and updates relevant to service delivery to immigrants and refugees.
We were grateful and honored to have Grace Hou, Secretary, Illinois Department of Human Services present our opening keynote remarks and Sol Flores, Deputy Governor, State of Illinois provide closing keynote remarks. To view and listen to a recording of their remarks and the entire virtual summit, please visit our youtube channel.
