ABOUT

Witness CHCI’s convening power at the Public Policy Conference.  On September 11-13, CHCI will bring together national leaders, elected officials, corporate executives, community activists, and educators (just to name a few) to discuss critical issues facing the Latino community and the nation.  

Join Members of Congress and thousands of Latino thought leaders and policy influencers in this three-day event, which has served as a vital forum for Hispanic-American leaders since 1980.  The conference showcases best practices within critical policy areas, such as employment and job creation, education, healthcare, immigration, international relations, housing, energy and the green economy, and technology.  Attendees will benefit from participating in this important dialogue that helps shape issues of national concern.

Daily agendas include plenary sessions, keynote luncheons, and policy summits, which feature presenters from government, corporate, labor, and nonprofit communities who are working toward better policies on national initiatives that affect the Latino community.
