The Greater Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation (GHHCCF) will celebrate the accomplishments of its newest cohort of Emerging Leaders on Wednesday, August 1st FROM 6-8PM at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas – Houston Branch, Houston, TX 77019. Now in its 6th year, the Emerging Leaders Institute has graduated over 200 young leaders across a variety of industries and business sectors. The graduation ceremony will take place at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas near Downtown Houston and will feature remarks from area leaders.

Launched in 2012, the Emerging Leaders Institute is a professional development program that identifies, develops, and empowers young leaders with less than ten years of work experience to excel in their personal and professional lives. “We are proud of our Emerging Leaders. They serve as the generation of leadership for all of Houston,” said Dr. Laura G. Murillo, Founding President & CEO of the Greater Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation. Emerging Leaders participate in rigorous programming geared at development in the areas of professional excellence, business communication, civic engagement, and entrepreneurship, amongst others. The Emerging Leaders Institute is the premier programmatic offering of the GHHCCF and is one of the foremost leadership programs in the Greater Houston region.

Established in 2010 for the express purpose of expanding the education and training offered in the region, the Greater Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation (GHHCCF) seeks to develop Emerging Leaders who are representative of Houston’s demographics.

Through its trailblazing Emerging Leaders Institute, the Chamber Foundation serves as a catalyst for identifying, empowering, and furthering young Hispanic leaders. These leaders represent the future of the Hispanic community and the Greater Houston region, and the Emerging Leaders Institute program helps give them the additional tools they need to continue their trajectories.
