Dear Friend,

On behalf of the President and Board of Directors of the Hispanic Lobbyists Association (HLA), a 501(c)6 professional association, representing the interests of Hispanic lobbyists and government affairs representatives, I would like to cordially invite you to join our organization. HLA was formed in the fall of 2006 recognizing the growth and continuing need for Hispanic representation in the government affairs field, best practices training, and mentoring of young Hispanic professionals.

We are a diverse membership organization of lobbyists from the corporate, non-profit, entertainment, labor and other areas of our industry. As a multi purpose organization, we place an emphasis on educational, civic, and professional development objectives. Some of these include providing mentoring opportunities for Hispanic youth and/or professionals seeking to learn more about governmental advocacy; developing and encouraging high standards of service and conduct by professionals engaged in the business; providing opportunities for exchange of experience and opinions through discussion and publications; and promoting communication and understanding on the role of those engaged in the profession, in the enactment of Federal laws and regulations.

Hispanics everywhere are playing an increasingly important role in our nation’s discourse. As we grow in both population and Congressional representation, HLA is committed to helping Hispanics get the tools they need to make a valuable a contribution to the country. In doing this, our advocacy on behalf of Hispanics also advocates for the nation as a whole.

We invite you to become a 2011 member or our organization and help advance the lobbying profession. When you join HLA, you will receive e-updates on organization compliance issues affecting lobbyists, get invited to exclusive events and networking opportunities and build professional relationships.

On this page, you will find a membership application. Please fill it out and return it by mail with your dues or use our PAYPAL option. If you have any questions or would like to discuss further, you can contact me at 202-448-5231.

Sincerely,
Cristina Antelo
President, Hispanic Lobbyists Association
