History of the Hispanic Promise
The Hispanic Promise has gained momentum ever since its announcement in Davos and maintained it through a series of regional summits intended to gather Hispanic and non-Hispanic leadership in different regions of the United States to discuss the pressing issues around the Hispanic community in companies. Throughout 2019, the Hispanic Promise was showcased in Chicago (April), Dallas (September), and San Francisco (October), and also at the Hispanic Leadership Summit held at the United Nations in New York (December). The first wave of signatories was announced in Chicago, with more than 50 companies.
