The fifteenth Dominican Week in the United States is being held this 17-20 September with activities planned for New York and Washington. Dominican Week in the United States is an initiative dedicated to the promotion of business and cultural relations between the Dominican Republic and the United States.
One of the events planned for this year's event is a panel presentation organized by the Group of Dominican Professionals in Washington, DC (GDP-WASH), a non-profit organization that examines topics of interest to the Dominican and US communities.
This year's panel presentation will focus on the bilateral relations between the Dominican Republic and the United States, with special emphasis on three issues, namely, (1) deportation of Dominican-American inmates to the Dominican Republic; (2) internal adjustments in both countries as a result of DR-CAFTA; and (3) labor and employment concerns for both countries in the context of DR-CAFTA.
The invited panelists are former Dominican Ambassador in Washington Flavio Dario Espinal, former US Ambassador in the DR Hans Hertell, current DR ambassador in the US Roberto Saladin and DR business leader Maribel Gasso. Lorena Perez, president of GDP-WASH, will be the panel moderator. Anyone interested in attending the panel presentation may visit GDP-WASH's webpage at www.gdp-wash.org (http://www.gdp-wash.org) for more information, or email: rsvp@gdp-wash.org.
