About CHCI
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) is one of the
leading Hispanic non-profit and non-partisan 501(c) (3) organizations 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
Hispanic leaders. Our vision is an educated and civically active
Hispanic community participating at the local, state and federal policy
decision-making levels.
As the premier national Hispanic educational organization, CHCI seeks
to accomplish 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 public and
private sectors, through CHCI’s Alumni Association. Through its
programs, 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 ongoing tools necessary to compete in today’s rapidly
changing business environment – more than ever since the Hispanic
community is the fastest growing and youngest segment of the U.S.
population.
CHCI hopes to continue challenging corporate America to join in the
Institute's efforts in providing young Hispanics the opportunity to
explore new areas of educational development, both at the private and
public sectors.
