An exceptional array of speakers who participated in the Hispanic Summit conducted in 2005,2006 and 2007 in Orlando, FL, discussed topics ranging from Philanthropy and Civic Participation, Media, Economic Opportunities between Puerto Rico and Central Florida, Free Trade Agreements and the Business Community's Commitment to Diversity and Entrepreneurship.
During these years the Hispanic Summit, three pieces of Original Research Studies were presented to our community: The Economic Impact of Hispanics in Central Florida, Puerto Ricans in Orlando and Central Florida and the Regional Leadership Survey, a multi-county analysis highlighting the different voter attitudes and trends in the region. Such information has provided valuable information to our government, business and civic leaders to make plans for the future and promote cooperation, coordination and collaboration in the region.
