Our annual Capitol Hill Summit brought together leaders and communities to advance economic development in Puerto Rico. Hosted in conjunction with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, the summit welcomed more than 200 participants throughout the day while Congress was in recess.

Congressional staff, including committee staff, members of the Puerto Rican diaspora, small business owners, students, and community leaders came together to exchange ideas, strengthen partnerships, and spotlight opportunities for Puerto Rico.

The conversations reflected what’s possible when people across sectors connect with a shared purpose: building a stronger economy and expanding opportunity for Puerto Rico and its people.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this year’s summit meaningful.
