"Expanding our Horizons"
The Hispanic Elected Local Officials (HELO) constituency group was established by the National League of Cities in 1976 to serve as a forum for communication and information exchange among Hispanic local government elected officials and NLC colleagues. 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, discussions on the North American Free Trade Agreement, bilingual education, voting rights, and minority business enterprise programs.

HELO welcomes new and returning members each year. The easiest way to join HELO is by paying annual dues and fees via the November Congress of Cities registration process.
