With the dramatic shift in the composition of the U.S., more and more cities are becoming majority minority cities (14 states are now majority minority "Toddler" under five population, and by 2040, it is projected the U.S. will be a majority minority country). Of these changing demographics, Hispanic-Latinos are the largest ethnic group and growing segment of the population. Latinos currently represent 13 percent of the U.S. population, increasing at a rate three times the national average. This growth includes a rapidly expanding community of Latino mid-career professionals who could provide the economic and visionary leadership the country needs NOW.
