Caribbean Heritage Day Event

The United States Patent & Trademark Office Caribbean Intellectual Property Association (USPTO-CIPA), invites you to Caribbean Heritage Day on Wednesday July 1, 2015 from 12pm until 1:30 pm at the Madison Auditorium North.

Our program this year will highlight the contributions individuals of Caribbean descent have made to the development of the United States in key areas such as entertainment, politics, commerce, and science.  It would be our great honor to have you share in this our signature event for the calendar year.  There will be a short formal program that will include a brief presentation by former Ambassador Raymond Joseph.  Ambassador Joseph will provide an educational discussion entitled, “A Tribute to Haitian Soldiers for Heroism in the American Revolution.”

At the conclusion of this portion of our program, attendees will able to peruse the displays that will feature notable contributors of Caribbean descent and the contributions they have made over time.  There will also be some Caribbean style food which can be preordered or purchased onsite, as well as the opportunity to sample some indigenous Caribbean drinks (while supplies last.)
