8yèm Kolòk Anyèl Building One Community

Thank you for joining us

"Immigration: The Overlooked Driver of Economic Growth"

On September 19, 2023, we hosted our 8th Annual Colloquium with an enriching discussion about, "Immigration: The Overlooked Driver of Economic Growth." Nearly 200 friends of B1C came together to connect, learn, and revel in the power of our immigrant community.

Panèl estimé nou yo, Carlos Alvarez, David Kallick, Doktè Tamu Lucero, ak moderatè Muzaffar Chishti, te pataje ekspètiz pwofon yo ak eksperyans pèsonèl yo sou wòl enpòtan imigran yo jwe nan ekonomi ameriken an.

The Village was filled with the good energy and high spirits of community leaders, government officials, partners, volunteers, and B1C staff as we enjoyed the cocktail "hour" and fierce bidding on our spectacular silent auction!

Kòm Direktè Egzekitif B1C nou an, Leonel Restrepo, mentioned during her opening remarks, "In a time when immigration is often negatively portrayed, it is crucial to collectively acknowledge the incredible value that immigrants add to our nation. Our neighbors from all over the world offer a unique perspective, rich traditions, and amazing talents that are woven into the very fabric of our community."

David Kallick, Direktè Inisyativ Rechèch Imigrasyon an, te deklare ke byenke nosyon imigrasyon an kòm yon chofè ekonomik klè pami ekonomis yo, li souvan neglije nan deba piblik yo. Kòm tandans yo montre, enpak pozitif sou ekonomi an se menm plis enpòtan nan dezyèm ak twazyèm jenerasyon imigran yo.

Carlos Alvarez, yon imigran ki soti nan Gwatemala ak pwopriyetè biznis lokal, atribiye siksè li nan konbinezon an nan opòtinite, travay di, ak lit yo ki te motive l '. Li te tou mete aksan sou ke pèrsistans ansanm ak sipò nan kominote a ak òganizasyon tankou B1C yo esansyèl.

Doktè A.S. Lucero, Sipèentandan Lekòl Piblik Stamford, te pale de efò yo fè pou avanse tout kò elèv la, ki gen ladan 76 lang diferan yo pale lakay yo. Li te mete aksan sou fason ke yo te pale plizyè lang yo konsidere kòm yon fòs olye ke yon defisi, ak sistèm lekòl la fè espre enkòpore pèspektiv sa a. Doktè Lucero te diskite tou sou pwogram nouvo arive a, ki ede nouvo elèv yo aklimate nan lekòl la ak nan vil la, epi devlope konfyans.

An jeneral, diskisyon panèl la ensiste ke, atravè richès nan background yo ak travay di, imigran kontribye anpil nan sosyete a ak kwasans ekonomik. Our panelists' insights also revealed that opportunities and support are critical for immigrants to succeed, and programs like Building One Community's can go a long way to advance their integration.

Ann travay ansanm pou kreye yon naratif pozitif alantou kominote imigran nou an!
