Hispanic Heritage Month
September 15 – October 15, 2026

This month, we celebrate the voices, cultures, and experiences that continue to shape our communities and strengthen public service.

From community leaders to future policymakers, Hispanic and Latino voices are an important part of building a more inclusive future.

At PPIA, we believe public service is stronger when diverse perspectives have a seat at the table.
