About Hispanicpros

Hispanicpros, now a program of Vive NW is a networking and mentoring organization geared towards the development of Hispanic/Latino/a professionals and entrepreneurs.

Established in 2008, Hispanicpros provides its members with useful information, insights, resources and inspiration by email, newsletters and social media. Additionally, we organize monthly networking events which provide an opportunity for individuals from all professional backgrounds to come and meet one another, establish professional relationships and promote career development.

Following are some of Hispanicpros’ signature community events:

Hispanicpros has partnered with Portland Timbers in celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month for the past eight years. This event coordinates a shoe drive for local youth in need. This event delivers approximately 60 pairs of brand new Adidas shoes per year.

Most Influential Latina Awards.

Hispanicpros also hosts the Most Influential Latina Awards. This event honors inspiring Latina professionals for the contributions they make to our community through; their work, professionalism and leadership. This event also provides the opportunity for attendees to introduce themselves or their business during an open microphone session to share information about the exciting projects they are involved in.

Our Annual Latin@ Tech Fest.

Each year Hispanicpros has our Annual Latin@ Tech Fest. This event provides a platform for Technology companies and government agencies to engage with 400+ Hispanic professionals with STEAM backgrounds. Some of the companies include, Intel, Puppet, Land Rover | Jaguar, Prosper Portland, and other organizations.

This initiative aims to address the low representation of diverse professionals working in the Technology Industry. At this event companies engage with Hispanic and other professionals to share various job opportunities and take advantage of the power of diversity. Companies collect resumes during the Career Fair and engage with potential candidates.

Latin Brew Fest

Hispanicpros has hosted The Latin Brew Fest for the past two years. This event is the first of its kind in the region. The Latin Brewfest blends the bounty of the Northwest craft beverage scene with the diversity of Hispanic/Latino/a culture to build new markets while increasing access to regional economic and recreational opportunities. To create a thriving ecosystem for this diverse community, and an exciting landscape for the burgeoning cultural tourism industry of the Willamette Valley. This event aims to showcase regional makers of ciders, wines, beers and other libations with the vibrancy of Latin American flavors.
