DESCRIPTION:Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson invites you  to participate in the 
 African American Organizations Making Connections 3.0. African American 
 Organizations Making Connections, is an initiative mobilizing 
 African-American organizations, businesses and leaders within the East Bay 
 to explore solutions and strategies for the betterment of East Bay 
 communities. Making Connections 3.0 will convene for the third time on 
 Saturday, April 23, 2016 at Laney College, Oakland from 8:30 am - 3:30 pm. 
 The event is free. RSVP at www.makingconnections2016.eventbrite.com is 
 encouraged.\n\nWith the goal to exceed the expectations of past gatherings 
 held at Merritt College and Laney College, this year's plan is to engage 
 500 attendees in meaningful dialogues captured in a variety of topical 
 plenary sessions and breakout workshops. \n\n"Making Connections 3.0" 
 topics will include conversations on Youth (culture, technology, movements 
 and future), Africa (business and politics), and the Black Church and its 
 role in social change.  Special guest speakers, industry practitioners and 
 innovators will lead panel discussions and breakout sessions with the 
 intention of leaving the audience with tangible outcomes.\n \nThe 2016 
 forum will focus and support outcomes relative to employment, job 
 development and training, education, family dynamics and mentoring, 
 particularly with the youth and young adult voice in mind.  One of the main 
 event objectives is for participants to form alliances to advocate for 
 policy changes; to make commitments to mentor young people; to connect job 
 seekers with employment resources, training, assessments, and other 
 opportunities within the community.   \n\nEarly registration, sponsorship, 
 exhibition and volunteer opportunities are available. For more information, 
 contact us at (510) 779-3036 or visit our the African-American 
 Organizations Making Connections facebook page.\n\nRegister Now at
