As with the 2009 conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico, this conference is about rolling up sleeves and getting to work on the skills you need to evolve with your organizations—or, if you’re out of work, the skills you’ll need to land a new job. You will see a decided emphasis on multimedia journalism precisely because we know that these are the skills in demand 2 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF HISPANIC JOURNALISTS 21860:21860.qxd 6/14/10 3:57 PM Page 3 21860:21860.qxd 6/14/10 3:57 PM Page 4 21860:21860.qxd 6/14/10 3:57 PM Page 5 NAHJ EN DENVER EL GRITO ACROSS THE ROCKIES WELCOME FROM 2010 CONVENTION PROGRAMMING CO-CHAIRS Bienvenidos a Denver!

Finally, the Politics of Immigration Reform come under examination as the issue heats up along with the political campaign season.
