ABOUT THE AFRICAN ADVISORY COUNCIL:
On January 13, 2010, the Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. Announced the creation of an African Advisory Council. The mission of the council is to work with the Bronx African community to resolve emerging issues and make recommendations on strategies that will improve the quality of life of this growing population. According to recent reports, the African population in the Bronx has grown considerably in recent years, the census reported 12,063 sub-Saharan Africans in 1990, while the most recent census estimates 61,487 African residents. The Council’s objective is to encourage continental Africans, including people of the African Diaspora to actively participate in the economic, social, and cultural developments of the borough.
We need you to please help get this information to all member states so that they can be informed and make sure that their country is properly represented. See enclosure for details.
Please feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,
?
