      How can I join the Board of Directors?

      Directors are responsible for guiding and directing the organization towards its mission. Dynamic individuals with vision and passion to see the Hispanic community with more of a voice in how their local government looks should connect with their local Hispanic Vote chairman or board member.

      Do I have to be Hispanic to attend?

      We depend on opportunities to speak to the community at large in an effort to share the mission. Our members can conduct voting seminars or interviews in Spanish and English  Contact your local Hispanic Vote for more information.

      How did Hispanic Vote PAC start?

      The original group began in 2009 under the name “Cubans for a Better Florida”.

      The group formed  because of a growing concern that Hispanic voters were not participating in local elections.  From there the group name changed to The Hispanic Vote.
