Title: Virginia Latino Advisory Board, VLAB

URL: http://vlab.virginia.gov/

Description: Today, the Board serves at the pleasure of Governor Terry McAuliffe and continues to advise the Governor on issues of Latino interest so that his administration can best serve the Latino constituents of Virginia. The VLAB meets four times a year to discuss these issues, make recommendations, and plan events. Historically, the VLAB has advised the Governor on a variety of issues; many of these recommendations can be found in the "Board Reports" section under Publications. Additionally, the Board has planned and carried out Town Hall style meetings, international expositions, etc. The VLAC was signed into law and made a permanent Board two years later, effective October 15, 2005. The Virginia Latino Advisory Commission was created in recognition of one of the fastest growing ethnic groups in Virginia and the nation as a whole. Latinos in Virginia are native-born U.S. citizens from all parts of the country and foreign-born residents from all over the world. The Virginia Latino Advisory Commission (VLAC) was created by executive order in October of 2003 by former Governor Mark R. Warner to provide information about the growing Latino community in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
