Host the Summit in 2011?

The MN Network of Latinos in Higher Ed would like to start early locating a site for our annual conference, Summit 2011, scheduled for next October.  We have put on the Summit at a number of locations over the past 5 years, and we have developed a list of norms, guidelines, and standards that clarify roles and responsibilities and help us all figure out if  this is a good fit. We want to make hosting an enjoyable and valuable experience for our host institutions.  We would be happy to send you more information if your institution would consider hosting.  Please contact Louis Mendoza, this year's chair, for more information.
