Dear Friends:
As Chairman of the Assembly Puerto Rican/Hispanic Task Force, I would like to thank you for your past support and participation in our Annual Somos Spring Conference. I am pleased to invite you to join us once again for Somos as we gather at the Empire Plaza and Crowne Plaza Hotel in Albany, New York from Friday, April 1st to Sunday, April 3rd.
I am confident that the Spring Conference will prove to be an extraordinary event. Our agenda is intended to energize, empower and inspire by providing important information and the dynamics necessary to promote opportunity during times of change. The Task Force is focused on being an advocate for the development and advancement of programmatic and legislative solutions to help solve issues of importance to the Hispanic community.
Now celebrating its 24th year, Somos is the largest Hispanic gathering in the Northeast bringing together more than 7,000 elected, community, labor and business leaders who represent a cross section of New York's rich Hispanic community. The conference features policy institutes, exhibits, special networking receptions, and presentations from speakers of local and national prominence.
I hope your schedule will allow you the opportunity to join us and make this unique gathering even more memorable. Attached you will find a sponsorship and registration form for this year's conference. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our Somos registration coordinator, Stephanie Rodriguez, at (212) 233-8955.
Thank you again for your support. I look forward to seeing you on April 1st!
Sincerely,
Hon. Felix W. Ortiz
Chairman
NYS Assembly Puerto Rican/Hispanic Task Force
