Welcome to ENA Convention blogspot

Welcome!!!

The purpose of this blogspot is to provide a forum for the discussion and exchange of ideas and information related to the 2009 ENA Convention. Please feel free to share your ideas, knowledge and experience...
For those not familiar with the ENA, please click on about me on the right hand corner...
For those not familiar with ENA Conventions, here is s quick introduction...

Since 1992, ENA conventions have established itself as an important forum for policy-makers, scholars, and community and business leaders to gather and exchange ideas about one of the most dynamic and diverse people in Nigeria…. the Edos. In addition, the Convention strives to provide a home away from home for Edo’s of all generations and backgrounds in a culturally and educationally enriching environment. The convention has continuously brought together an average of one thousand members from diverse backgrounds for the 4- day event.

The theme for this year is…
EDO COMMUNITY REVIVAL AMID 21st CENTURY CHALLENGES
This year, the convention intends to not only explore the healthcare challenges faced by the Edo indigenes but develop and produce long term sustainable and viable solutions.

On behalf of the Edo National Association (ENA) in the USA and Canada and the Convention Planning Committee, I thank you for your time, consideration and anticipated support.
