This year we will learn more about our champions making a difference in our Rochester Hispanic community. Our theme this year is “Esperanza: A Celebration of Hispanic Heritage and Hope.” “The theme invites us to celebrate Hispanic Heritage and to reflect on how great our tomorrow can be if we hold onto our resilience and hope. It encourages us to reflect on all of the contributions Hispanics have made in the past, and will continue to make in the future. It is also a reminder that we are stronger together.” -The National Council of Hispanic Employment Program Managers
