Nuestra Voz, Nuestro Futuro, Our Voice, Our Future

¡HICA! is proud to present the inaugural Latino Opportunity Summit in Birmingham, Alabama. This groundbreaking event spotlights the economic impact and mobility of Latinos across Central Alabama, focusing on career pathways, education, entrepreneurship, workforce development, and community leadership.
