Hispanic Heritage Month events

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and expand your cultural knowledge by attending an upcoming learning event hosted by the UNIDOS Employee Resource Group.

Hispanic Heritage Month runs from September 15 – October 15.

Panelist event

Join the UNIDOS ERG for a candid panel conversation featuring Eder Castillo from the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, and community member Lucino Sosa, on Wednesday, September 18 from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the NorthPoint Conference Center, or online via Microsoft Teams (meeting link).

The panel will discuss how we as Hennepin County staff can become pioneers of change. This meaningful conversation will provide an excellent opportunity for self-reflection. 

Potluck and dance group event

All are welcome to attend a potluck and dance performance on Wednesday, September 25 from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Richfield Community Center.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their favorite food to share with the community. The dance groups performing include Venezuela, Ritmo Latino, and Mexico Lindo.

This is an in-person event, no registration required. There is free parking available at both events.
