“We are blessed with the limitless amount of Latino talents in Pennsylvania. The women and men we are recognizing truly and undoubtedly represent the good, kind and the promise of our community. In a process not driven by politics, we present this year’s POWER 100 with humility and pride driven by the hope to inspire young Latinos and children with the stories of individuals who look like them, sound like them and come from their neighborhoods and communities,” said Norman Bristol Colon, chairman of the Pennsylvania Latino Convention.

The POWER 100 Who’s Who is an initiative of the Pennsylvania Latino Convention to immortalize Latino legacy and contributions to the social, cultural, and professional fabric of the state. PALC will publish a compendium of the stories of these remarkable individuals. This publication is expected to reach schools and libraries across the state, especially in predominantly Latino school districts and communities.
