Norman Colon, Chairman of the Pennsylvania Latino Convention sharing new details on the 2023 PA Latino Convention. Behind Colon, stands Olga Negron, and Matt Maisel.The PA Latino Convention has grown larger every year since its inception five years ago, bringing Latino voices front and center in the Keystone state.
“For those of you who missed the last five conventions, you have no idea what you’re about to encounter,” said Olga Negron, Vice-Chair, Pennsylvania Latino Convention. “Yes, Latinos are here to stay, 1.1 million of us. We gather and we empower, that’s what we do. And we’re very proud to celebrate our accomplishments, heritage, culture, and blessings.”
The Latino convention will feature more than 30 different workshops, including the Latino Health Summit, Latino Education Summit, Workforce Development Town hall, Latina Women Conference, Business and Entrepreneurship Forum, Young Professionals Leadership Development, Hispanic College Fair, and the State’s Official Hispanic Heritage Month Gala.
“Last year, more than 32 million Latinos were eligible to vote – making Latinos the largest minority ethnic voting bloc for the first time in our nation’s history,” said Colon. “Bringing the convention to the capital city and government center is a natural fit. With a new governor and leaders in the House and Senate, the convention is an opportunity for our executive and legislative branches of government to hear our concerns and include our voices in the Pennsylvania of the future.
