In 2024, the Hispanic Alliance and its partners are convening people from diverse industries, backgrounds, and cultures to shine a light on the opportunities to engage the growing Hispanic population in building prosperous communities across the Palmetto State.
We hope you will join us as we foster dialogue and collaboration to build bridges towards equitable policies and a thriving future for all South Carolinians.
We believe that a brighter future becomes possible for all when great people come together to share ideas and engage in dialogue. Join these series where thought leaders and topic experts across South Carolina will take a deeper look at the policies and systems that are shaping our future.
Join us to celebrate the collaborative work of the Hispanic Alliance, the South Carolina Arts Commission, and Palmetto Luna Arts, and to explore the arts’ potential to create space for dialogue, knowledge, and understanding.
Hosted at the historic Gibbes Arts Museum on August 22 at 5pm, guests will enjoy a cocktail reception and hors d’oeuvres surrounded by art, and hear from an expert panel conversation on the pathways to build a more inclusive arts environment in SC.
At the event, we will unveil a statewide Hispanic Arts Assessment conducted in partnership with the South Carolina Arts Commission & Palmetto Luna Arts in 2023.
Please join the Hispanic Alliance and Ten at the Top for a dialogue to explore opportunities to engage the growing Hispanic workforce in building a thriving economy in the Palmetto State.
The conversation will center on the potential positive economic impact of H.3288. If signed into law, this bill would make holders of current and valid employment authorization eligible for occupational or professional licensure to work in South Carolina, resulting in millions of dollars in economic output and tax revenue.
The Hispanic Alliance and its partners have made great headway in its first decade but there is still more work to be done. We believe that a brighter future becomes possible for all when great people come together to share ideas and engage in dialogue. Join these series where thought leaders and topic experts across South Carolina will take a deeper look at the policies and systems that are shaping our future.
