The Hispanic Affairs Advisory Board is charged with the responsibility to advocate on behalf of the Hispanic populace in Miami-Dade by creating awareness while addressing pressing matters that have an effect in the community.

The Community Relations Board’s primary mission is to intervene and contain community tensions, as quickly as possible. The secondary mission is to work proactively to identify and relieve intergroup conflicts before crises arise; to develop bridges of understanding and support programs in the community; to foster understanding, communication, and mutual respect; to develop and support local or city based Community Relations Boards throughout the county; and to assure that resources are in place to respond to community crisis.

For more information, please contact Miami-Dade County Community Relations Board Director Shirley Plantin, EJD at 305-375-1406.

The Office of Community Advocacy is charged with making Miami-Dade County "One Community" that embraces our diverse and unique population. Subscribe to our YouTube channel and follow @AdvocacyMDC on, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
