LEE, Mass. - Richard Chacon is the Director of the Office of Refugees and Immigrants. He has held public meetings across the commonwealth to prepare the New Americans Agenda to be submitted to the governor on July 1st.
In collaboration with the Berkshire Immigrant Center and the Literacy Network of South Berkshire, Mr. Chacon is coming to the Berkshires on May 18th for a roundtable discussion with immigrants and those that work with them. The meeting will be held at 12:30 at the Lee Library, 100 Main Street.
“Director Chacon is interested in hearing the successes and the challenges of immigrants who have made their home in Berkshire County.” states Brooke Meade of the Berkshire Immigrant Center. “There are challenges for our new neighbors that are common across the commonwealth, but also some that are unique to the Berkshires. We need Mr. Chacon to hear both.”
The Berkshire Legislative delegation has been invited and expressed interest in the opportunity to hear from their constituents.
