Rescheduled: A Cuba Conversation

1 Comment

A Community Conversation with Miguel Fraga, First Secretary for the Cuban Embassy – Sunday, February 5, 2017 at 4:00 PM

Our community has a rich history with Cuba and the Cuban people. Recent changes in the relationship between Cuba and the United States (namely, the reestablishment of diplomatic relations) have created increased opportunities for people-to-people exchange and government-to-government negotiations.

Where is the relationship between Cuba and the U.S. going? How do the elections and the recent passing of Fidel Castro impact this relationship? What does this all mean to our local community?

Join Mayor Kate Stewart, County Executive Isiah Leggett, County Councilmember Marc Elrich in a community conversation with Mr. Miguel Fraga, the First Secretary for the Cuban Embassy. During the conversation, Mr. Fraga will share with us his thoughts on these questions plus many others.

This will be an interactive conversation, with plenty of opportunity for Q&A.
