| In
1999, four hundred Latino leaders from diverse organizations
across the State of New Jersey convened a conference at
Rutgers University that concluded in the creation of the
Latino Leadership Alliance of New Jersey. As a non-partisan,
non-exclusive organization, our diverse constituency is
bound together by mutual strengths and common goals.
Only in this way may we ensure that LLANJ plays a part in
cultivating our next generation of Latino leaders.
Members of LLANJ join together to create one voice for Latinos
in New Jersey. In representing Latino parents, primary
and secondary educators, community leaders, law enforcement,
health care professionals, religious leaders, immigrant
groups, student leaders and business professionals, we recognize
how our various needs interconnect and work as a collective
unit to shape the role of Latinos in New Jersey.
