EVENT BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Annual Awards Gala is the hallmark event during Hispanic Heritage Month in Washington, D.C., and serves as the unifying event for the Hispanic American community. The Gala program each year is developed around a unifying theme that helps to highlight CHCI, its mission and programs, the annual Chair's Award(s), and the CHCI Medallion of Excellence honoree (s).

A 32-year tradition, The Public Policy Conference and Annual Awards Gala raise more than 60 percent of the Institute' s revenue for its programs, which develop the next generation of Latino leaders.
