JOIN US in celebrating our 50th anniversary: 50 Years of Leadership. KHLAAC was established in 1974 as the Kansas Advisory Committee on Mexican American Affairs (KACMAA) to heightening cultural awareness among Hispanics, particularly highlighting Mexican heritage through various outreach activities. Recognizing the need for political and economic empowerment, KACMAA shifted its focus in 1980 to unify various groups into a single political entity, heighten awareness of the political process, and facilitate economic development by working closely with national resources and organizations. The commission's name evolved until established as KHLAAC in 2007. Today, KHLAAC continues to advance opportunities for Hispanics & Latinos in Kansas, fostering self-reliance and community development. Register to attend the conference: https://lnkd.in/gF9dSAmW
