Free Online Event Webinar
NHMA is pleased to partner with UNH’s Carsey School of Public Policy on its monthly discussion series, the Carsey Policy Hour. The Carsey Policy Hour (formerly Coffee & Conversations) engages policymakers, public service professionals, and active citizens and organizations in the issues and policies that affect the people and places of New Hampshire. Each month features a dynamic expert speaker (or two), followed by an interactive audience discussion. The intent is to foster learning, problem-solving, and collaboration in service of New Hampshire's common good. 

Event Description: How will the Trump administration's recent actions on immigration affect New Hampshire? Our February speaker is Dr. Julia Gelatt, Associate Director of the U.S. Immigration Policy Program at the Migration Policy Institute. Dr. Gelatt will provide a framework for understanding the U.S. immigration system, including which responsibilities fall to the federal government, and which roles state and municipalities can play. She will highlight the policy choices states have on immigration topics – related to immigration enforcement, public benefits, inclusion of immigrants in the workforce, and other arenas – and describe how New Hampshire’s policies compare to those of other states. Finally, she will give an overview of some of the Trump administration's recent executive orders and subsequent policy changes and analyze their implications for New Hampshire agencies, service providers, and communities.
