North Carolina, September 28, 2023.- Today, El Centro Hispano had the honor of hosting United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai for an important discussion with Latino leadership in the North Carolina Triangle area. . Ambassador Tai is a distinguished member of President Joe Biden’s Cabinet and serves as a senior trade advisor, negotiator, and spokesperson for U.S. trade policy.
The closed-door visit offered an opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue about cultivating vibrant, empowered communities, focusing on investing in community development, workforce education, and promoting broad opportunities. It provided a unique opportunity for local Latino leaders to exchange ideas and views with Ambassador Tai on these critical issues affecting our communities and potentially influencing national policies and priorities.
Ambassador Tai graciously took time from her demanding international schedule to interact and understand the perspectives and needs of our community. His willingness to connect with local Latino leadership underscores the Biden Administration’s commitment to inclusion and comprehensive representation in shaping the nation’s trade and economic strategies.
Former state representative, Ricky Hurtado, moderated the conversation and facilitated this enriching opportunity for dialogue. The Hispanic Center deeply appreciates your dedication to fostering connections and opening avenues of conversation between local leaders and national representatives.
This call allowed us to share ideas, experiences and aspirations, contributing to the collaborative effort to build stronger, more resilient and inclusive communities. It has been a pivotal moment for El Centro Hispano and the broader Latino community in the North Carolina Triangle area, highlighting the potential for united progress and better mutual understanding.
