NATIONAL LEGISLATIVE LEADERSHIP SUMMIT AND ANNUAL CAPITAL AWARDS GALA March 28–29, 2017, Washington, DC Join NCLR for its inaugural National Legislative Leadership Summit in Washington, DC, as we convene leaders from around the country to the nation’s capital to discuss the latest legislative and policy agendas impacting the Latino community. Held over two days, the National Legislative Leadership Summit welcomes thought leaders from the nonprofit community to engage in high-level strategic conversations impacting national and regional initiatives that continue to empower Latinos. The National Legislative Leadership Summit also integrates the development of the next generation of leaders by bringing Latino youth leaders to the nation’s capital to participate in sessions on civic engagement, cultural empowerment, and leadership development.

Representative Nydia M. Velázquez (D-NY 7th District) and Capital Awards guests

The NCLR Capital Awards Gala culminates the National Legislative Leadership Summit and is a nonpartisan event that recognizes leaders from both sides of the aisle for their outstanding support of public policies that are vital to Hispanic Americans. In addition, the Public Service Award honors individuals outside of Washington who courageously and tirelessly advocate on behalf of Latinos.

NATIONAL LEGISLATIVE LEADERSHIP SUMMIT AND ANNUAL CAPITAL AWARDS GALA The NCLR National Legislative Leadership Summit is held in conjunction with the NCLR Capital Awards Gala.

This civic participation program brings more than 350 leaders from 150 community-based organizations from across the country to Washington, DC, for an intensive Summit and training on the latest legislative and policy issues impacting the Latino community. This is enhanced with a day of Capitol Hill visits where participants also meet with members of Congress and advocate on behalf of national issues that are important to their local communities. Through this event, participants learn the fundamentals of effective advocacy and communication, empowering themselves, and further strengthening their communities. Through the National Legislative Leadership Summit, NCLR continues to foster the leadership development of nonprofit and youth leaders from across the nation through a robust agenda that builds a pipeline for the next generation of American leaders.

NCLR Annual Conference

Celebrity Chefs: Denisse Oller, Ingrid Hoffmann, and Claudia Sandoval

THE NCLR ANNUAL CONFERENCE JULY 8–11, 2017, PHOENIX CONVENTION CENTER, PHOENIX, ARIZONA Since 1968, NCLR has engaged our country’s lawmakers, business entrepreneurs, and community change-makers in ongoing conversations about important issues in the Hispanic community.

The Hispanic market is the fastest-growing consumer demographic in the country,

and NCLR maintains close working relationships with some of the most prominent individuals, institutions, and companies working with the Latino community.

Our Annual Conference is more than a business opportunity—it’s a cultural event. As the largest annual

gathering of Latinos in the United States, NCLR’s Annual Conference is an important and timely investment.

This year marks the 49th anniversary of NCLR, and as a fitting tribute we are returning to the place we were founded: Phoenix, Arizona. The theme for this year’s Conference, Nuestro Movimiento: Our

American Journey, highlights the great accomplishments over nearly five decades of work in championing the Latino community in the United States and building a strong and lasting American institution. Please join us in celebrating our origins and legacy this year in Phoenix!

NCLR Annual Conference | 25

OPPORTUNITIES TO SUPPORT AFFILIATES AT CONFERENCE Nearly 300 community-based organizations around the United States that serve Latinos on a day-to-day basis make up NCLR’s Affiliate Network. They are familiar with the practical concerns and the policy issues affecting their constituencies and are tirelessly engaged in developing and implementing innovative solutions to the problems our communities face. NCLR’s active and productive relationship with its Affiliate Network is at the heart of the organization’s work and is central to its ability to fulfill its mission.

NCLR AFFILIATE OF THE YEAR AWARD $150,000 Seize an opportunity to associate your company with the highest honor bestowed on an NCLR Affiliate organization—the NCLR Affiliate of the Year Award. This distinguished award program recognizes six nonprofit organizations that are setting the standard for service delivery and impact in the Latino community, selecting one to be recognized as the national honoree. The regional and national honorees are recognized at key events during the NCLR Annual Conference.

In addition to the award presentation, the Affiliate of the Year hosts a two-day NCLR Affiliate Peer Exchange to share their award-winning best practices in nonprofit management with up to 20 nonprofits. This is a great opportunity for any business to grow their affinity with the Latino community.
