    Establishment

     

    The Miami-Dade County Hispanic Affairs Advisory Board (HAAB) was established by Ordinance No. 92-41 in May 1992, at the request of Commissioner Alex Penelas.

    Currently, the Hispanic Affairs Advisory Board is housed in the Office of Community Relations. Its 13 members are appointed by the Board of County Commissioners to serve in an advisory capacity to them, to the community and to all agencies and persons in Miami-Dade County, Florida, “with respect to matters pertaining to the Hispanic community of Miami-Dade County.”

    The membership of the HAAB reflects the diverse culture and ethnic backgrounds represented in Miami-Dade County so that the concerns of the Hispanic community are addressed by its members. The HAAB’s responsibilities include: promoting positive images of Hispanics and their many contributions to society; serve as a medium for responsible persons to utilize and consult in an attempt to understanding and solving the many complex issues affecting the Hispanic community in Miami-Dade County.
