THE UNITY AND PROGRESS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IS COMING TO DOMINICA

Naples, FL – 7 July 2009 - Calling all Dominicans at home and abroad to join hands to work together in the development of our beloved Dominica.
Unity and Progress for A Better Dominica (a group of patriotic Dominicans at home and abroad) will be convening the second Unity and Progress International Conference in Dominica on Saturday 15 August 2009.  The principle objective of the conference is to discuss issues related to the socio-economic development of Dominica. This conference, organized in collaboration with the Citizens Forum for Good Governance, is a follow-up to the highly successful event held in New York on 25 April 2009. At that time, thousands of Dominicans from all over the world had the
opportunity to participate live on the internet and by telephone.

Unity and Progress for A Better Dominica is committed to working in partnership with fellow Dominicans at home and abroad and friends of Dominica in creating youth development programs, building parks, creating employment, researching and teaching alternative energy, green building, and sustainable developments and promoting environmental protection and preservation of  the eco-systems. We must all unite and come together to preserve the land that our forefathers gave their sweat and blood for, the land

that our mothers cradled close to their breast as they nurtured love for God and country in us.  Our objective is to preserve our culture, our sovereignty and promote Dominica’s leadership in the family of Caribbean nations.

The international conference will be free and open to the public: participants at the conference are expected to be representatives of all political parties on the island, local government, the private sector, trade unions, civil society organizations, churches, youth organizations, and Dominican organizations in the Diaspora.
