 On Friday, July 22nd, the White House Initiative on Advancing Educational Equity, Excellence and Economic Opportunity for Hispanics and the Aspen Institute will host a White House Initiative Latino Economic Summit in El Paso, with the participation of U.S. Congresswoman Veronica Escobar; federal agencies including: the U.S. Department of Education, U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Small Business Administration and National Science Foundation; and local leaders.

We are pleased to extend this invitation for you to join us.

This community event is the fourth in a series of in-person events across the country highlighting the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to advancing equity and economic empowerment and connecting local Latino community members directly with federal leaders and resources.  At the event you’ll hear from leaders like:

  • Congresswoman for Texas’ 16th Congressional District in El Paso Veronica Escobar, 
  • U.S. Department of Defense Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, Gil Cisneros, 
  • U.S. Small Business Administration Associate Administrator for the Office of International Trade Gabriel Esparza, 
  • U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary January Contreras, 
  • White House Initiative on Advancing Educational Equity, Excellence and Economic Opportunity for Hispanics Executive Director Melody Gonzales
  • and several federal agency and local leaders.

President Joe Biden and Administration leaders know that America’s future prosperity and global leadership is tied to the success of Latino families and communities. Through the American Rescue Plan, Bipartisan Infrastructure law, executive orders and administrative actions, the Biden-Harris Administration is making historic investments in the Latino community from federal contracting to workforce development. 

Join us to learn more about how you can better leverage federal partnerships and mobilize the Latino community towards historic federal resources designed to advance equity and help our nation build back better. You can view event details and updates at ed.gov/hispanicinitiative.

By coming together across race, place, and sectors we can collectively build a brighter future in which all businesses, families, workers and students can thrive – including the more than 60 million Latinos in the U.S.
