Earlier this fall, the National Council of Hispanic Employment Program Managers announced the theme for the 2025 National Hispanic Heritage Month. A. Berrios de Gacharna submitted the winning 2025 theme: “Collective Heritage: Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future.”
The Council is a membership-based organization advocating for the improvement of Hispanic representation in the federal government.
Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15 to October 15, honoring the cultures and histories of Americans with roots in Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.
The Hispanic and Latino community in the U.S. now exceeds 60 million people, representing 18.9% of the total population. Latinos make significant contributions to various sectors, including the arts, science, sports, entertainment, public service, and entrepreneurship.
On Wednesday, Sept 17, Prospanica, the association of Hispanic MBAs and business professionals, will hold a special event during its Entre Amigas webinar.
Milwaukee Public Schools, the Florida Department of Education, Volunteer Florida, the New York State Children’s Alliance, and the Johnson County Department of Health and Environment in Kansas are among the local and state organizations celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month.
In Milwaukee, students will explore the cuisines of Hispanic nations, examining how these foods reflect history and serve as sources of creativity and cultural pride. The district’s annual celebration of Hispanic culture is scheduled for October 18 at Bradley Tech.
For generations, Hispanic Marylanders have strengthened their communities, enriched the culture, and contributed to the state’s economic growth.

Hispanic individuals have made substantial contributions in various fields, including science, education, the arts, and healthcare.
