Dominica International Conference in New York

By Joan Bellot

Matt Peltier of Q95FM has offered to come to the Bronx to cover the Dominica International Conference live! Matt hosts THE HOT SEAT, the highest-rated morning talk show. He interviewed Dr. Sam for his stirring "A Better Dominica" You tube videos.

Matt's subsequent interview of his brother, attorney Gabriel Christian, met with overwhelmingly enthusiastic response. Change is on the way in Dominica and Dominicans overseas are leading the charge! Here is your chance to help shape the future of our country.

Join us at this one day conference led by experienced Dominican panelists. Various international Dominica Associations will present live reports. Hear for yourself the buzz created by the Christian brothers.

There will be opportunity for networking, light refreshments and socializing. Full "Unity & Progress" agenda to follow. Start by giving your opinion in the preliminary poll to your right.

Kindly forward your email list of Dominicans (and friends of Dominica) who you feel would like their own personal invitation. Dominicans everywhere are united in expressing renewed hope like never before. Show your support for this landmark event.

Something special, something powerful is happening in our country. Thank you for being a part of it!

Great initiative...count on my support!
 
Is this going to be another exploitation of Dominicans? How is this conference going to help Dominica become better? what exactly is the purpose of this conference? Who are the people behind this and what is their mtoive? What kind of change should we expect after this conference.. My participation is based on the answers to these questions.
 
Will this gathering have any government representation to give the government's point of view or will it just be a bunch of anti government people trying to get support to rally behind them to fullfill their own personal gains? Will this gathering be just another complaint session or a change from the old ways? O will it be one where a new call is being made for Dominicans in the Diaspora to come together to meet and discuse how we can work together with our elected officials to make our sweet Dominica a better place?
 
What is the goal and objective of this conference?To many times we see people try to do things like that for there own personal gains and use the development of Dominica as there front, and when there get to where they want to be they pick up there bags and walk away.

I am asking all Dominicans to be very careful,sit back and listen very carefully,ask question,and get positive answers, do not live with any question unanswered.

We would like to see all Dominicans come together and work under one umbrella to make a better Dominica,so the future generation will not have to move to overseas to make a living, they will be able to do that right here in Dominica.
 
This is a great idea, and the discussion is very much needed. Let us all keep an open mind and focus on the things going on in Dominica instead of approaching this from a political perspective.
 
What buzz are the Christian Brothers going to create? Buzzes of greed, selfishness and entitlement to the geothermal contract?
 
One of the objectives of this SUMMIT ought to be to begin/continue the movement to ensure that Dominicans in the USA and outside D/a INSIST on accountability, honesty, TRUTH, Productivity, Fairness, Balance, good governance and RESPONSIBLE governance! If these objectives are included I support the meeting. The "Christian brothers" have as much right as Tony Astaphan and Cecil Josph and Mervin Paul and Skerrit himself to talk about issues facing their/OUR Dominica!
 
This is not a bad activity, but people will use a good activty for a bad purpose. I am very skeptical about this activity and the motivation of the indivudals involved. The timing of it all and the fact that it all stems from a so called concern for Dominica.

I think that this should have the Government and Opoosition Leaders in attendance so that Dominicans can listen to boeht sides and ask questions. A one sided activity put togehter by perons with axes to grind worries me very much and I do not thuink this is in the BEST interest of Dominica.

Finally, the Christian Brothers and the others are also Dominicans that are well educated but they must not think that the rest of us live in the 1960's, we will walk out of the Church if they ever attack our PM and our Government they better present HARD FACTS OR ELSE???????????
 
Is there an agenda for the day that can be shared? The website I've seen doesn't give much information. It would be good to know how the day will be structured...
 
This Conference will be a time for all you to bash the government of Dominica
