Company Profile
Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute
Company Overview
CHCI accomplishes its mission by offering educational and leadership development programs, services, and activities that promote the growth of participants as effective professionals and strong leaders. In the spirit of building coalitions, CHCI seeks to establish partnerships with other Hispanic and non-Hispanic organizations.
Today, CHCI has developed into an organization whose programs have successfully developed effective Hispanic leaders, both in the public and private sectors, as embodied by its Alumni Association. Through its successful thirty-one year history, CHCI has brought to fruition the original goal of its founding members.
CHCI firmly believes it is vitally important for Hispanics to be provided with the tools necessary to compete in today’s rapidly changing business environment – this is more important than ever since the Hispanic community is the fastest growing and youngest segment of the U.S. population.
CHCI hopes to continue challenging all of its partners across the U.S. to strengthen the Institute's efforts in providing young Hispanics the opportunity to explore new areas of leadership development, both in the private and public sectors.
Company History
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) is the premier Hispanic non-profit and non-partisan 501(c) (3) leadership development organization in the country. CHCI was established in 1978 by Congressman Edward Roybal, Congressman E. “Kika” de la Garza, and Congressman Baltasar Corrada to help increase opportunities for Hispanics to participate in and contribute to the American policy making process.
Since then, CHCI’s mission has been to develop the next generation of Latino leaders. Its vision is an educated and civically active Hispanic community participating at the local, state, and federal policy decision-making levels.
