Dominican-American National Roundtable 2005
The 2005 Dominican American National Roundtable event will be held next 7-9 October in Boston, Massachusetts. The Dominican American National Roundtable is a non-partisan Washington, DC-based organization that advocates the empowerment of Dominicans in the United States and Puerto Rico.
Boston's Mayor Thomas Menino is very supportive of the event. "The diversity of our city is the strength of our city," he said. "I am very pleased that the Dominican American National Roundtable has chosen the city of Boston to host the 8th Annual DANR National Conference in October 2005. The fast-growing Dominican community enriches the city of Boston in many disciplines. It will be a great pleasure to work with the National Conference's hosting committee to make it a memorable one for all Dominican Americans."
Boston currently holds the fifth highest population of Dominicans in US cities and at least 73,000 Dominicans reside in the state of Massachusetts. The city known as Bean Town will be the fifth chosen site to host the DANR in the US, with previous locations including Miami, Providence, Washington, DC, Atlantic City and New York City.
A record turnout comprising 1,000 Dominican leaders, activists and students is expected to descend on Boston from all over the United States. The DANR is the foremost event that trains its focus on Dominicans living in the United States.
