What does Local Government Hispanic Network do?

The Local Government Hispanic Network (LGHN) is a nonprofit organization established in 1989 that supports Hispanic and Latino local government professionals in the United States. Its mission is to promote professional excellence among these administrators and enhance local government management. LGHN acts as a bridge between professional managers and communities, focusing on programs that address critical issues for the Hispanic and Latino population. LGHN offers a variety of services and programs, including a structured mentorship program, virtual webinars, networking events, and leadership opportunities. The organization provides valuable resources to help Hispanic local government executives and public managers advance effective and ethical administration. LGHN operates as a forum for individuals interested in Latino-related issues and as a consortium of local government entities, with regional chapters like Latinos in Florida Local Government (LFLG) to extend its reach and services.
