CHCI’s Annual Awards Gala is the signature event in CHCI’s Hispanic Heritage Month Events that include the Public Policy Conference and Reyes of Comedy. It is the largest and most prestigious gathering of Hispanic nonpartisan, public and private sector leaders in the nation who convene to network while celebrating the achievements of the Latino community. The evening’s festivities include musical entertainment, remarks by figures of national prominence, and recognition of CHCI’s highest honors—the CHCI Medallion of Excellence awardees. These awards celebrate the outstanding accomplishments of Latino leaders who keep the promise to their communities through their extraordinary efforts. All events support CHCI’s educational attainment and leadership development programs.
