CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

2012 marks the 35th anniversary of CHCI's Annual Awards Gala—the signature event of Hispanic Heritage Month (HHM) and CHCI's most important source of program funding. As CHCI prepares for its 35th Anniversary Awards Gala and many other associated events, we need your support! CHCI invites you to become involved with HHM. These events draw over 3,500 guests – and your help, energy, and enthusiasm are integral to a successful event. There are many ways you can help support the Next Generation of Latino Leaders. Learn how. (more)
