Join us September 27 through September 29, as we gather in Orlando, Florida with other Puerto Rican Bar Associations from throughout the nation including Puerto Rico to discuss the critical issues Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans face as neighbors and citizens of the US. --Joel A. Montilla, Esq., President, Puerto Rican Bar Association of Florida, Inc. https://lnkd.in/e3zMcasd "All U.S. citizens are invited Free of charge to attend the lectures/workshops from the various experts on the issues which affect the economy of Puerto Rico and by extension the economy of the states that have a large part of the 5 million Puerto Rican diaspora.   Recognizing that no vote in Puerto Rico by Puerto Ricans will affect the votes in Congress. This coalition seeks to establish a national platform which calls upon the country to review the direct and indirect consequences of keeping Puerto Rico in its current territorial status." --Anthony Suarez, President, National Puerto Rican Bar Conference
