Vice mayor’s Hispanic Community Advocates to host mixer and workshop this May
In Miramar, there is a volunteer organization dedicated to Hispanic residents and their perspectives.
Created by Vice Mayor Carson “Eddy” Edwards’ office, Hispanic Community Advocates aims to strengthen the relationship between the Hispanic community and the City Commission.
“Through transparency, participation and shared dialogue, the Hispanic Community Advocates will empower residents to be active partners in shaping Miramar’s future,” Edwards wrote in an announcement in January.
HCA and Edwards are hosting two events in May to strengthen the community and help locals meet each other. Reserve your spot on Eventbrite to attend.
