OBJECTIVES
Objective One of the Civic Involvement Team is to hold an annual forum for 200 to 300 members of the Hispanic/Latino community in Greater Cleveland that provides the opportunity to engage and educate their elected officials, such as the Mayor, City Council members, the County Executive, and County Council members, on the issues that affect their daily lives.

Objective Two of the Civic Involvement Team is to hold an annual networking event for 15+ young Hispanic/Latino professionals to meet and engage with 15+ experienced members of the community in order to facilitate mentoring relationships and collaborations.

Objective Three of the Civic Involvement Team is to annually fund a training session for 10 Hispanic/Latino professionals sponsored through Business Volunteers Unlimited whereby they will learn the responsibilities of nonprofit board membership and potentially be placed on boards of nonprofit organizations. Placement of Hispanics/Latinos on these boards will ensure inclusion and awareness of the interests of the Hispanic/Latino Community.

Objective Four of the Civic Involvement Team is to hold an annual “Candidate Training & Campaign Management School” run by USHLI that will train 15+ Hispanics/Latinos on how to run for elected office and manage campaigns.
