History

The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) was founded in Los Angeles, California, in 1974 by a group of engineers employed by the city of Los Angeles. Their objective was to form a national organization of professional engineers to serve as role models in the Hispanic community.

The concept of Networking was the key basis for the organization. SHPE quickly established two student chapters to begin the network that would grow to encompass the nation as well as reach countries outside the United States. Today, SHPE enjoys a strong but independent network of professional and student chapters throughout the nation.




Commitment


Mission:
SHPE is the Source for Quality Hispanic Engineers and Technical Talent.

Statement of Values:
We are brought together by heritage, social responsibility and desire to improve the equality of all people through the use of science and technology. We value excellence in education, professional pursuits and leadership. We obtain excellence through integrity, empowerment, achievement, diversity and continuous improvement.

Vision:
SHPE is the leading social-technical organization whose primary function is to enhance and achieve the potential of Hispanics in engineering, math and science.

Strategic Focus Areas:
We will fulfill our mission by increasing educational opportunities, promoting professional and personal growth, carry out our social responsibility to be involved in education, business and government issues and enhancing pride within our organization and reinforcing our reputation as a vital Hispanic organization.


The Native American Finance Officers Association builds the financial strength of tribal governments and their enterprises by providing educational forums and resources, and by instilling finance and accounting best practices. We are a national not-for-profit organization with members in positions such as tribal finance officers, controllers, treasurers, accountants, auditors, financial advisors, tribal leaders, and more.

NAFOA is unique because we focus solely on the financial success of tribal entities. We provide a central source for the latest in financial management information and professional idea sharing. Through our network, members connect with experts in various financial areas, specifically as they apply to tribal governments and organizations.

We believe that sound financial management strengthens tribal governments and organizations. This creates strong Native American communities now and for generations to come.

The LOFT (Latinos On Fast Track) team is hosting LOFT networking events across the country to help connect more Hispanic students and recent graduates with corporate America.

This series will kick off in San Francisco on September 30th. This is hosted by SF Mayor Newsom who is inviting top local companies to come and meet the local Hispanic LOFT talent. This is a great opportunity to meet both executives and fellow rising Hispanic professionals. It's a FREE dinner for LOFT members and a chance to connect with other members. Also, there will be a ceremony awarding Wachovia (in the Private sector), Mayor Newsom (in the Public sector) and fellow Emanuel Pleitez (LOFT member) for their commitment to diversity and Latino empowerment. Other community leaders and celebrities have been invited and are pending confirmation.

If you are interesting in attending, feel free to join LOFT at www.joinLOFT.com and let other students or recent graduates in your network know about this as well. All the information they need to know can be found on the flyer attached to this e-mail.

If you have any questions, contact Carolina Peña, Media and Programs Coordinator, by email at carolina at hispanicheritage.org or at 202.861.9797.
