San diego refugee forum

The San Diego Refugee Forum is a professional association of organizations that advocates serving all populations fleeing persecution and seeking refuge in San Diego. Its members include resettlement agencies, ethnic community-based organizations, employment services, government agencies, community-based groups, refugees, advocates, educators, and supporting individuals. Members paying annual dues are entitled to vote in elections of Forum officers. Their membership enhances the Forum's standing to advocate on behalf of refugees, asylees and asylum seekers.
 
The San Diego Refugee Forum meets monthly to exchange information and advocate on issues of concern to the community of people displaced by war and violent conflict who are making a new life in San Diego. The meetings host guest speakers and provide a forum for discussion of topics of interest. They also provide government agencies with an opportunity to convey information and obtain input on policy issues relevant to the refugee community. Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month (excluding December).
