Room 28C
In 2005, Carlos Candelario was born with no arms or legs after his mother was exposed to pesticides. Research shows that pesticide exposure during pregnancy can cause birth defects or other serious long-term health problems for both mother and child. Policy changes are needed to protect farmworkers and their children from the dangers of pesticides. In this workshop, the attorney for Carlos and his family will discuss evidence indicating that his birth defects were caused by pesticides. A pesticide researcher will describe a study being conducted by the Center for the Health Assessment of Mothers and Children of Salinas (CHAMACOS) which is investigating the adverse health effects of prenatal pesticide exposure on farmworker children. A farmworker advocate will review legislation pending in Congress and regulatory changes under consideration by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to address the pesticide hazards that farmworkers face.

Latino Voters: Making Their Mark on the 2008 Election
Policy
Room 25A
The presidential candidate who understands and addresses the issues that are relevant to Latino voters stands to gain a significant advantage in the quest for the White House. While some candidates recognize the power of the Latino vote, others choose to neglect the fastest-growing major segment of the U.S. population. Various factors enhance the importance and potential of the Latino vote in the 2008 presidential election: several swing states have large Hispanic populations; large-scale, experienced voter registration and mobilization campaigns targeting Latino voters; and the presence of immigration as a major issue for the Latino community. NCLR's civic engagement initiative, the Latino Empowerment and Advocacy Project (LEAP), has convened a group of nationally renowned experts to present their analysis of Latino demographics, registration and voting patterns, and the multitude of issues that motivate Latino voters.

Room 24C
HIV/AIDS continues unabated in Latino communities. Latinos are three times more likely than Whites to be HIV positive and account for 18% of the deaths to date, even though they account for more than 14% of the population. This workshop consists of two consecutive sessions conducted by the National Latino/Hispanic AIDS Network in partnership with the National HIV Testing Mobilization Campaign. This workshop will address the need to come together to learn about this issue, present our definition of what the underlying problems are, and prioritize the changes that we see as necessary to reversing this epidemic. It will also explore the importance of HIV testing as an integral part of mobilizing our communities against HIV/AIDS; while 54% of Hispanics are getting tested, they are getting tested late, converting from an HIV diagnosis to AIDS within a year. Hear what is being done at state, local, and federal levels and develop an Action Agenda for your community which includes promoting HIV testing.

Workforce Development
Workforce Development
Room 28A
With the doors to quality jobs and career opportunities closed to many immigrants, Latinos turn to self-employment and entrepreneurship to build wealth and support their families.

Areas of discussion will include recruitment techniques, pricing and partnerships, key factors in structuring a class to promote retention and business plan completion, and budgeting considerations.

10:30 a.m.–Noon
Room 25A
Congressional failure to achieve comprehensive immigration reform has led to a patchwork of state and local measures that do little to address the nation’s broken immigration system but are wreaking havoc in local communities. Similarly, while more than 80% of Hispanics are legal residents or citizens, the close ties between immigrant and Latino communities means that the negative tone of the immigration debate carries consequences for Latinos as a whole. Among the measures being implemented at the local level are those calling on local law enforcement to interpret and apply complex immigration laws, placing burdens on already limited resources and community policing strategies and leading to a rise in discriminatory practices and community confusion. In this workshop, a panel of experts will discuss the implications of local enforcement measures, the impact they have on immigrant and Latino communities, and effective ways to organize a response that leads to greater dignity and respect for all.

Developing Your “Brand”: Creating a Workplace Identity that Influences How Coworkers and Career Decision-Makers Perceive You
Workforce Developmet
Workforce Developmet
Room 28B
Research indicates that Latino professionals often struggle with their career brand. Part of this is due to the fact that many Latinos struggle with their ethnic and cultural identity in the workplace. Another factor involves a feeling of isolation many Latinos face in the workplace because they often do not work with other Hispanics. This session will show you how to create your own individualized career brand that will allow you to transcend the narrow boundaries of your job title and Latino ethnicity. By creating an effective career brand, you will inform others of what they can expect from working with you and the value you bring to the working relationship. This leads to productive workplace relationships, a higher sense of ethnic pride, and, ultimately, to career success.

Room 24C
Latinos are a large and growing segment within U.S. public schools’ student body. Approximately 2.9 million Hispanics are enrolled in U.S. high schools, representing 17% of all secondary public school students. Yet Hispanic students are less likely than their non-Hispanic peers to complete high school, and high school dropout rates are highest among recent Hispanic immigrants. Furthermore, Latinos are underrepresented in advanced science and mathematics high school courses and gifted and talented education programs. In this workshop, panelists will provide information on the high school graduation rate crisis and policies that can increase Latino graduation rates.

Room 28C
Latinos are the largest and fastest-growing ethnic minority population in the U.S. They represent people with origins in multiple countries and with different cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds and different lifestyles, which may have an impact on their health. Despite this diversity, there is little information about the health conditions and their determinants among Latino subgroups. Although they are characterized by relatively poor socioeconomic status and face some elevated risk factors for certain diseases, many Latino subgroups have lower rates of cardiovascular disease, among others, and better mortality outcomes (the “Hispanic paradox”). This workshop will highlight major aspects of the Hispanic Community Health Study / Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL), which is a large multicenter epidemiologic study that aims to address the gap in the knowledge about the health of the Hispanic/Latino population
