Dear Friends and Supporters of the Institute of Hispanic Culture of Houston,

It is an extraordinary honor to serve as the President of the Institute of Hispanic Culture of Houston in 2025, a landmark year as we celebrate our 60th anniversary.

For six decades, the Institute has been a beacon of culture, education, and empowerment in Houston’s vibrant Hispanic community. Our unwavering commitment to preserving and promoting Hispanic heritage, fostering cultural exchange, and creating opportunities for educational advancement remains at the heart of everything we do.

As we commemorate this significant milestone, we also look toward the future with excitement and purpose. This year, we are thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Trevino Consulting Group, a collaboration that will allow us to reflect on our rich history and chart an innovative course forward. Together, we aim to build on our legacy, expand our reach, and ensure that our efforts resonate even more deeply within our community.

In 2025, we will launch new initiatives, award more scholarships than ever before, and offer expanded programming for our members. These advancements are designed to address the evolving needs of our community, empowering future generations to succeed and give back. Our mission, as always, is driven by the transformative power of education, which remains the cornerstone of our efforts.

This work is only possible thanks to you—our volunteers, corporate and individual sponsors, partners, and members. Your steadfast support inspires us and fuels our determination to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve this remarkable organization, alongside our dedicated board, community leaders, and supporters. Together, we can honor our past while embracing new opportunities to uplift and empower those who need it most.

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. I look forward to celebrating our 60th anniversary and shaping a brighter future for our community together.

Warm regards,

Veronica Foley
President, Institute of Hispanic Culture of Houston
