Monthly Forums

CISNE forums are held the first Thursday of every month from 8:30 am to 10:00 am. We invite agencies, advocates and organizations throughout Monterey County to participate. CISNE empowers community members with timely, relevant information so they can advocate for immigrant families and individuals in our community. Our forums address current issues, make connections and hold agencies accountable.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we are meeting via Zoom. There are no fees to join and you have no obligation to attend every forum. Please fill out our contact form to receive our emails and invitations to collaborate.
