April 2013 ENGAGE Wrap-Up

This month's ENGAGE breakfast looked at the growth and impact of the Hispanic population on Austin and Central Texas. Panelists discussed how this influx is far reaching in its influence on our community's economy, education, culture, and politics. Speakers included Perla Cavazos (Office of Texas State Senator Sylvia Garcia), Dr. Paul Cruz (Austin Independent School District), Mando Rayo (Cultural Strategies), and Geronimo Rodriguez (Greater Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce). The panel was moderated by Sally Hernandez of KXAN-TV.
