Reaching New Frontiers: Expanding The Latino Agenda

The League of United Latin American Citizens invites you to participate in the 80th Annual LULAC National Convention & Exposition, Reaching New Frontiers: Expanding the Latino Agenda, in San Juan, PR from July 13 through July 18, 2009. As the premier Hispanic convention, the LULAC National Convention draws over 15,000 participants each year including the top leaders from government, business, and the Hispanic community.

Make History: The LULAC Convention is an exciting, history-making convention, because it convenes the national delegates of LULAC to discuss issues, set policies, and elect the organization’s national leaders. For this reason, the LULAC Convention makes news and is covered by national and local media. It is the only convention in which participants representing Hispanic communities from across the country determine the positions and strategies of a national Hispanic organization.

Reach out to Hispanic America: The LULAC Convention is also well attended by major corporations who recognize the importance of reaching out to national Hispanic leaders and influential community members directly. There are opportunities to sponsor workshops and events, to showcase products and recruit Hispanic professionals in the convention exhibit hall. In addition, all proceeds support the dedicated work of LULAC to improve the quality of life for Hispanic Americans.

Federal Training Institute: The LULAC Convention hosts the FTI, a structured, intensive, and progressive career development program for government and public sector employees. In partnership with the OPM Management Development Center and the Graduate School, USDA, FTI offers workshops that enable mid and senior level government employees to enhance their leadership competencies skills that develop the Executive Core Qualifications required for entry to the Senior Executive Service.
