The White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics is proud to present the Fulfilling America’s Future: Latinas in the U.S. Summit on Friday, October 21, 2016. The summit will convene student leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers, business, and philanthropy to further the asset-based narrative on Latinas and raise awareness on the investments needed in support of advancing the educational, workforce and leadership opportunities for Latinas. As the largest and youngest minority group in the nation – Latinas are 1 in 5 females in the U.S. and will comprise nearly one-third of the country’s female population by 2060, elevating the importance of this event. Latinas have made significant progress in some areas of education and well being over the last decade. The summit will continue the conversation started at the White House 2016 United State of Women event, specifically focusing on Latinas and the contributions they have made in education, the workforce, and their crucial role in the economy. The panel sessions, paralleling the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics’ (Initiative) Latinas in the U.S. report, will highlight the condition of Hispanic girls and women in the country and their participation in areas such as: education, health, labor, housing, and politics.
