Mission Statement

The purpose of the Hispanic Alliance of Atlantic County, Inc. shall be to bring together talents and abilities of the members of the Hispanic Community as a resource for the economic, cultural, social and civic betterment of the community, and to provide opportunities to further enhance the leadership skills and professional network of its members.

Why was HAAC Developed?

We saw a need to have one organization where we, as Hispanics could turn to when we wanted to contribute our talents in assisting the community. We wanted to meet other Hispanics that could share the same interests and that could help promote our career development and professional network. We believe that to become successful it is not necessary to drift from our Hispanic roots. We can use our success to serve and provide opportunities for other Hispanics and to maintain and showcase our rich Hispanic cultural heritage.
