Hispanic Elected Local Officials (HELO)
Hispanic Elected Local Officials (HELO) constituency group was established in 1976 to serve as a forum for communication and information exchange among Hispanic local elected officials and their colleagues within the National League of Cities (NLC). In addition to providing training and information services to its members, HELO also provides guidance to the NLC Board and to its policy committees on major public policy issues affecting the Hispanic and Latino communities. In recent years, these issues, brought forth by HELO's Board of Directors, have included the education of Hispanic youth, immigration reform, bilingual education, voting rights, and minority business enterprise programs.
