Baltimore Immigration Summit

"The Baltimore Immigration Summit is an bi-annual one-day event, co-sponsored by Towson University and the Baltimore City Mayor’s Office, which brings together academics, service providers, activists, community leaders, and others working with and for immigrants in our region. Baltimore is an area with a growing and diverse immigrant population, as well as local government that views immigrants as an important part of the city’s resurgence.

The theme of this year’s Summit is ReGenerations: Communities, Opportunities and Challenges.”  “ReGenerations” has a dual meaning. First, it means about generations – Boomers, Generation X, or Millennial, including first and second generation immigrants. Second, the concept of regeneration also refers to how immigrants help regenerate the city, region, state and country. An example, in the realm of health, there are health needs for specific generations of immigrants (children, seniors), and there is also the way in which immigrant health care providers help regenerate our hospitals and other health care institutions."
