Organization helps growing number of Hispanics make professional connections
An organization of Hispanic professionals started out the new year with new digs in the heart of Hispanic Memphis.
By reaching out to executives, managers, government officials and college students, the Memphis chapter of the National Hispanic Professional Organization (NHPO) hopes to raise awareness and provide opportunities for connectedness across cultural boundary lines.
“What everyone has in common is that we want to get to know other Hispanic professionals in town and provide a forum where people can talk about issues,” said Ignacio Vincentelli, who is counsel for International Paper and chairman of NHPO.
