The La Raza Youth Leadership Institute Board of Directors would like to thank the Liaisons and organizations that participated in the 2009 conference. Through your involvement, our conference continues to be a success. We understand Liaisons work very hard in assisting students to participate in this conference and look forward to seeing you in April. With the conference just around the corner we hope that we can continue our collaboration and enhance the development of our Raza youth. The conference has been able to provide thousands of Chicano/a, Latino/a, Mexicano/a students a one-day conference filled with workshops on Leadership, Careers, Self-Esteem, and Cultural Awareness. We are excited to continue the tradition and are happy to announce the:
