Welcome to HBPA!

On behalf of the Hispanic Business and Professional Association (HBPA), and as President I wish to welcome our new members. Since 1995 HBPA has been supporting Hispanic/Latino business and professionals in the Spokane Community. Also, HBPA has been very successful in promoting educational opportunities for young Hispanic students through scholarships, and supporting cultural events that contribute to the appreciation of our diversity.

Our members represent different professions, businesses and civic areas. I applaud all our members because they are valuable participants in our community. Thanks to their outstanding professionalism this association is considered one of the best in Spokane.

We take great pride in our association for being a venue for Hispanic/Latino entrepreneurs, leaders and professionals throughout the Inland Northwest. We are always glad to see new people and companies join us.

I encourage you to take advantage of the great opportunities that this association has to offer. We will strive to provide you with the support of our HBPA familia.Again, welcome aboard.

Very truly yours,
Lily Baldwin-Garduño
HBPA President
