Notable Quote
“ The National Board of Directors brings a wealth of experience and a shared commitment to championing the Hispanic workforce and business community. ”
Sergio Barajas, Executive Director at NHCA
Why This Matters
The establishment of NHCA’s inaugural National Board of Directors is a defining moment in advancing Hispanic representation within the U.S. construction industry. Although Hispanic workers make up over 30% of the workforce and account for nearly 60% of its growth, they remain significantly underrepresented in leadership roles. NHCA’s Board will directly tackle this disparity by implementing its Five Pillars: Capacity Building, Access to Capital, Community Empowerment, Advocacy, and Networking. Their leadership will be instrumental in driving equitable industry practices, promoting economic mobility, and ensuring Hispanic voices are influential at all levels of construction.
