Miami (April 11) - The Inter American Press Association (IAPA) will be celebrating the inauguration of its new headquarters in the Jules Dubois Building in Miami on Thursday, July 27, 2000, at 7:30 p.m. The IAPA will be inviting local government officials and celebrities, as well as friends of the IAPA from all over the world for a special reception and ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The IAPAs new
headquarters is located in the Brickell area of downtown Miami.
The building has been named after Jules Dubois - Latin American
correspondent for the Chicago Tribune during the middle part of
the century and early member of the IAPA. He was Chairman of the
Committee on Freedom of the Press and Information for 15 years (1950-1965).
Renovations are under way to include a Boardroom where officers
will conduct their meetings, a library which will contain a wide
variety of reference materials on press freedom, and an auditorium
where the IAPA will conduct frequent seminars, workshops and conferences
in an effort to strengthen the organizations presence in the fight
for freedom of the press in the Americas. The Jules Dubois building
was purchased thanks to a grant offered to the IAPA by the Robert
R. McCormick Tribune Foundation.
The new IAPA address is: Inter American Press Association, 1801
S.W. 3rd Avenue, Miami, Florida 33129. The organizations telephone,
fax and e-mail has remained the same.
