AUSTIN, TX – The Hispanic Heritage Foundation (HHF), Welcome Tech, and The Latinx House hosted a brunch at J-Prime Steakhouse in Austin on March 15th to present HHF’s unique approach to serving the Latino community through an “Adaptive Mission.” The program featured community and corporate partners, celebrities and influentials from various sectors who leverage HHF’s programs for actionable impact.
“We are thrilled to be in Austin during this special time of year in front of our stakeholders to present our approach to moving our community forward across important sectors – by being adaptable as an organization to support the needs and wants of our community,” said Antonio Tijerino, president and CEO of HHF. “We are grateful to Raul Lomeli and Welcome Tech, Monica Ramirez of Latinx House, and J-Prime Steakhouse for graciously opening their doors and arms to us. We presented examples of our malleable mission while breaking bread with our partners.”
Examples of HHF’s programs that were presented include:

- Workforce: skills build effort with IBM which includes outreach to Welcome Tech clients to fill America’s tech workforce while potentially fast-tracking economic mobility
- Social Impact: supporting the work of Puede Network in Dallas where HHF partnered to teach youth to code, as part of the bigger cohort of LOFT Lab which incubates ideas, leaders and efforts across the country
- Culture: Actors and musicians discussing the Hispanic Heritage Awards, and Arts & Entertainment track to support inclusion but also leadership in the industry and creating a pipeline of talent which HHF already does in other sectors including tech, ed, healthcare, etc.
