2011 LULAC National Legislative Conference & Awards Gala

The LULAC National Legislative Conference and Awards Gala highlights critical legislative issues affecting Hispanic Americans and recognizes key leaders who have served the Hispanic community well. At this years’ Conference LULAC will present its policy issues to our council members and will present awards to three distinguished elected officials at our fourteenth gala, which will occur February 9 to 10, 2011 in Washington, DC. We will also celebrate the 82^nd anniversary of LULAC, which was formed on February 17, 1929.

Proceeds from the LULAC National Legislative Conference and Awards Gala support the important work of the LULAC National Office. This includes LULAC’s policy and legislative advocacy, as well as its organizing of Hispanic communities through the creation of LULAC councils throughout the United States. Contributions to the legislative gala are not tax deductible as a charitable contribution, but may be deductible as a business expense.
