The Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility (HACR) announced recently that the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers joined HACR as a coalition member organization on January 1, 2019. SHPE’s educational programs and annual events serve children, undergraduate and graduate students, and academic and industry professionals.
“The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers is an outstanding addition to the HACR familia and we’re excited to have the presence of SHPE as our newest coalition member,” said Cid Wilson, president & CEO of HACR.
SHPE has over 10,000 student and professional members and more than 225 chapters focused on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers.
“We are honored to join the Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility as its newest coalition member,” said Raquel Tamez, president and CEO of SHPE, who will serve on the HACR board of directors. “Together, we can make a difference to grow the presence of Hispanics in Corporate America, including the C-suite and corporate boards,” she said.
Founded in 1986, the Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility (HACR) is the nation’s leading corporate advocacy organization representing 12 national Hispanic organizations in the United States and Puerto Rico. Its mission is to advance the inclusion of Hispanics in Corporate America in the areas of employment, procurement, philanthropy, and governance.
“SHPE and its national programs for young STEM professionals complement the work of HACR, our research institute, and our executive programs,” Wilson said. “As Corporate America becomes increasingly STEM-dependent, from the entry level positions to the corporate board, we want to be sure that Hispanics are included at all levels.”
