Latino Public Radio Consortium

JOIN THE LATINO PUBLIC RADIO CONSORTIUM IN HOUSTON!

Sorry for the short notice but we’ve finally got the details ironed out. 

The 3^rd Annual Summit & Survey of Latino Public Radio is in Houston this year, a city whose residents are predominantly Latino. 

At the Opening Session on Wednesday, June 13 we’ll get to know each other. There’ll be lots of workshops, plenary sessions, luncheons and even a Friday-night pachanga. 

The last full day of the Latino Summit is Saturday, June 16. After a day of working at the conference, we’ll travel to one of the historically Latino neighborhoods of Houston to visit with la gente of Houston.

TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF

One of the purposes of the Latino Summit is to learn about and from each other. We invite you to bring 75 of your station’s promotional materials to the Summit, so we can provide them to the participants, put them on the LPRC exhibit table and make them available to Houston community members who attend the reception on Saturday afternoon.

If you aren’t attending the Summit or you don’t feel like carrying your materials, you may ship them to reach Flo by June 12, 2012. Send them to Hyatt Regency; ATTN: Guest, Florence Hernandez-Ramos, 1200 Louisiana, Houston, TX 77022.

SHOW OF

Bring your best premiums (sweatshirt, mug, CD, reusable bag, etc) so we can use them as prizes at Summit and at the community meeting.
