Mayor Julian Castro and Texas State Demographer Lloyd Potter Ph. D. to Speak on 2010 Census and SA 2020 Vision at Neighborhood Conference

The Neighborhood Resource Center, a non-profit organization, is pleased to welcome San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro and Texas State Demographer, Lloyd Potter Ph.D. to discuss and inform residents about the SA2020 Vision project and the 2010 Census statistics, and what they mean to San Antonio neighborhoods at its Annual Neighborhood Conference to be held on June 11, 2011 at Laurel Heights United Methodist Church.

As recently-released U.S. Census Bureau data has confirmed, the San Antonio area is changing, growing in population and shifting in density by area. These changes have major implications for area neighborhoods from adjustments in traffic patterns, to neighborhood businesses, to strains placed on city and county services and infrastructure. Keeping up with these changes is necessary so that we are not swept away by them.

Come to the next NRC Annual Conference to make sure you ride the tide, not the other way around.

Additionally, workshops will be held on Neighborhood Legal Issues, Leadership Development, Volunteer Opportunity Programs, an Update on City Wide Projects and information on How To Create Fun Things to do In Your Neighborhood.

Please call (210) 735-0586 or send an e-mail to nrcsa@swbell.netContact to RSVP or for more information. Lunch will be provided with your RSVP. A $10 donation is suggested. Exhibit tables and program advertising are also available.

The Neighborhood Resource Center is a non-profit organization whose mission is to enhance leadership in all neighborhoods in order to promote a vibrant, healthy community through education and networking opportunities.

Conference History
Annual Neighborhood Conference was first organized in 1989 by a diverse group of individuals led by Mr. Bruce Beal, reporter for the Neighborhoods Section of the now defunct San Antonio Light newspaper. Maria Berriozabel, then serving as councilperson from District 1, a number of individuals from the San Antonio Coalition of Neighborhood Associations (SACNA) such as Emily Thuss, June Kachtik, and Larry DeMartino, and many others worked with local neighborhood organizations to enlist volunteers to organize this major undertaking. The purpose was to provide an annual venue where neighborhood people could attend workshops and network with other neighborhood representatives to share experiences. The original name for the conference was "Neighbors for the Nineties" and the first conference was held in June of 1990. Because it proved so successful, the conference continued to be held each year through the cooperative efforts of SACNA, the City of San Antonio Council and Planning Department, Community Associations Institute (CAI), and many local businesses who funded the event. Fund raising efforts were conducted specifically to support the conference to ensure it continued to be offered free of charge. When the Neighborhood Resource Center (NRC) was created in 1994, responsibility for holding the conference was transferred to the NRC to guarantee its continuation. Today, the Annual Neighborhood Conference is still the premier venue where neighborhood leaders and representatives can gather to learn and network. Representatives of many other cities have attended the conferences to study this successful cooperative effort.
