Practices, Public Policy Forum discussions and Partnering with other
Community organizations discussions to reflect the challenges and
complexities that neighborrhood associations face in today's cities.

UNSCC will be co-sponsoring for the first time in Santa Clara County a free

Forum with League of Woman Voters, Latina Coalition and other non profit non

of community interest groups as part of our 12th Annual Neighborhood
Conference. The 3 discussion topics: Why San Jose Can't Pay for expected
basic City Services like other local city's? What is the Neighborhood &
Community's Role in Public Policy Development? Can we have Open, honest
Ethical Governement without local Sunshine laws?
