“We are pleased that LULAC is celebrating its 74th National Convention in Orlando,” said Mayor Dyer. “I encourage the Hispanic Community of Central Florida to attend this conference and not miss the opportunity to learn about local and national Hispanic issues, participate in workshops, training programs, job fairs and a world class expo.”

This year’s convention theme is “Latinos Unidos Realizing the Promise,” and it will feature training programs, policy workshops, job fairs and an exposition of Fortune 500 companies, government agencies and community organizations.
