President Carmen Ferradas call the meeting to order
Discussion of Coordinator’s for 2011 meetings. Gilberto Rosas and Rocio Magna ? agreed to serve a Program Chairs. Efforts will be made to submit proposals for invited sessions, and co-sponsored sessions to increase ALLA’s visibility. President-Elect Miguel Diaz Barriga discussed the need for the development of Presidential and Invited sessions focusing on migrations. A possible invited session could compare policies in Canada and the US.
There is a new Public Education initiative that the AAA is considering that would focus on migration. ALLA members could be key players as this develops.
The membership was asked to consider the development of a position paper on Immigration that would be concise and broad in nature. Sections would then be refined and added that would addressed specific issues that might be employed for new releases, and the like. Additionally, a list of experts and resources could be made available to the pres and government agencies.
Luis ? suggested that the theme be broadened to address migration and belonging or migration and citizenship. Gilberto Rosas recommended that its relationship to race be addressed. Additionally, Ramona ? argued that we work toward debunking myths related to the use of social resources (i.e. drain on health care system).
As the discussion expanded to include concerns over contemporary policies that mitigate against the well being Latinos, the suggestion was made to develop a mechanism, (a listserv or blog) where suggestions might be explored by a small committee in order to facilitate the development of a draft for the memberships’ approval.
