The title and theme of this year’s conference was "On the Sunlit Path.”  These words are adapted from Dr. King’s, “I Have A Dream,” speech where he said, “Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.”  The conference highlighted all goals that have been achieved since the enactment of the Fair Housing Act and all the impending challenges to come.

The conference attendees were from various backgrounds which included fair housing partners, scholars, real estate and lending professionals, college students, and the general public.  We received tremendous feedback that will help us shape the next conference.

Again, thank you for your participation and we look forward to seeing you in 2010.
