Board Of Aldermen - Agenda - 9/27/2016 - P10

supported in part by affiliates of the Welcoming America initiative. In both years | have
returned from that conference energized and committed to working with other agencies,
organizations and individuals in the city who are working to making new residents feel welcome

and engaged in their new community.

Joining the Welcoming America initiative allows Nashua to do more than just state to
ourselves how we feel about new comers, it publicly joins us with the growing network of
communities committed to implementing policy and procedural changes that make our cities
and towns are ready to do more than just accept immigrants but to offer them full participation

in every aspect of the life of the city.

Sincerely,

Jennifer McCormack, Director
