CHCI RELEASES COMPREHENSIVE RESOURCE GUIDEWashington, DC – Today, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) released the 2001-2002 National Directory of Hispanic Organizations, a resource for the general public on Hispanic-serving community-based organizations (CBO) and federal agencies. The directory, which has been generously funded by Philip Morris Companies Inc. since 1984, provides detailed information on Hispanic organizations that are national in scope, as well as those that serve regional or statewide Latino populations. “The purpose of the directory has remained constant since its creation – to provide individuals, organizations, agencies and businesses with a resource from which to partner and build consensus around issues of joint interest,” said CHCI Chairman Silvestre Reyes. "CHCI believes it is crucial for people to share information and collaborate in an effort to ensure the continued success and growth of the Hispanic community.” The 2001-2002 edition
includes information on the Hispanic Members of the 107th Congress,
Senate and House leadership, the Cabinet, federal agencies, and the
White House. In addition, the directory includes timely and relevant
demographic information on the Hispanic population and its purchasing
power, as well as recent statistics on Hispanic elected officials. “Philip Morris is
proud to support this guide of organizations that contribute to the
richness and strength of our nation,” said Shuanise Washington, vice
president, External Affairs at Philip Morris. “This directory
illustrates the number of Hispanic organizations committed to addressing
important issues and playing a role in the strengthening of our
country.” The 2001-2002 National Directory of Hispanic Organizations is available for $5 a copy by calling CHCI at (202) 543-1771 or visiting the Institute’s Web site at www.chci.org.
