PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Dear Friends of LULAC,

I invite you to join LULAC in Washington, DC for the 87th National Convention and Exposition. As members of the largest and oldest Hispanic organization in the country we gather every year to address the critical issues that impact our community and country. The 87th National Convention and Exposition will take place from July 12 to July 16, 2016.

As the nation’s premier Latino gathering, our annual convention attracts more than 20,000 participants including top government, business, labor and community leaders for a week filled with renowned speakers, important seminars, celebrities and exciting entertainment.

At the Convention, you can expect to hear from Members of Congress, cabinet secretaries, local elected officials, academic experts, and respected business and community leaders.

Each year, the LULAC Convention generates tremendous excitement. At the Convention, LULAC delegates elect the national leadership and establish LULAC’s policy priorities. In addition, during the Convention there will be seminars and workshops which will feature expert panelists to discuss many key issues to the Latino community, including, immigration reform, education, health care and civil rights. There will also be separate tracks for the youth and young adults which will provide our emerging leaders with workshops on community service, leadership development, career opportunities and advocacy training.

As part of the Convention, there will be the 2016 LULAC Expo and Career Fair which will feature a multitude of private and government agencies. Those groups are made up of over 250 corporate partners, government agencies, colleges and universities, labor unions, armed forces, and non-profi t organizations. Each will be displaying their products and services, as well as, recruiting Latinos for employment at the LULAC Career Fair. In addition, the LULAC Convention hosts the Federal Training Institute—an intensive and structured career development program for government employees.

Families will also not want to miss the excellent free entertainment and free screenings at the health fair!

Please join us for the 87th LULAC National Convention and Exposition as we celebrate 87 years of service to the Hispanic community.

Sincerely,

Roger C. Rocha Jr.
LULAC National President
