Besides the keynote, there are also workshops focusing on topics such as cyber-bullying, gender stereotyping, age discrimination, and cultural differences. We are also proud to offer a workshop, Community Conversations, sponsored by Mayor Della Volpe's Task Force on Race and Ethnicity. The three conference coordinators will work closely with a Steering Committee that consists of representatives of local and state government, the Ansonia School System, the Anti-Defamation League, the Jewish Federation of Greater New Haven and the Ansonia Chapter of the NAACP.
