John Betancourt, a member of the Amarillo College Board of Regents, was pleased when his application was approved so that he may attend a NALEO Policy Institute conference during the last week of April in New York City.

NALEO, in which Betancourt holds membership, is the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, and the limited-capacity conference is titled “Economic Mobility: Building the Infrastructure of Opportunity for Latinos.”
