| The Council of Spanish Speaking Organizations,
Inc. (Concilio), is a non- profit, 501(c)(3) corporation founded in
October 1, 1962, by a group of Latino leaders concerned about the
multiple problems confronting the Latino community. Corrosive
discrimination, lack of Latino participation in government, policy
making and service institutions were some of the barriers stifling
Latino community development 45 years ago. Latino leaders organized to
address and voice these concerns to the local, regional, state and
federal government bodies. |
