The Office of Refugee Resettlement is accepting nominations for participation at ORR’s National Consultation on August 1-2, 2011 as well as UNHCR’s first Refugee Congress to be held immediately following the consultation on August 3-4, 2011. Opportunities are available to participate in person as well as through special “Refugee Voices” media presentations.
Voluntary agencies, community based organizations, and MAAs are asked to submit nominations of refugees to participate, via their State Refugee Coordinators, by April 30th. State Refugee Coordinators will then forward a list of up to five (5) nominations from each state, and ORR and UNHCR will review the nominations upon receipt.
For more information, read letters from ORR and UNHCR at http://www.refugeeworks.org/.
Though today is the deadline and my question may not help too many people, I was curious if the nomination is (was) supposed to be emailed directly to the State Refugee Coordinator. I was also curious where the actual nomination form was, and if there was a different form for the consultation and congress.
ReplyDeleteIn my community we were not informed about the Refugee Congress or given any nomination form(s).
Thanks,
