Our Mission


Our committee works to expand awareness, representation, and civic participation through culturally relevant outreach, partnerships, and community engagement to strengthen democracy for all.

Our Focus

2026 Initiatives include:

  • Celebrate and engage the community during Hispanic Heritage Month
  • Expand voter education and access for people within the Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion umbrella -- race, culture, special needs, veterans, seniors,  English as a second language, etc.  --  through collaboration with local service organizations
  • Develop a practical toolkit to help League programs, communications, and outreach to better represent, enroll, and serve Broward’s diverse communities
