Our Story...

The Aurora Hispanic Heritage Advisory Board was created in March 2002 to provide advice and coordinate organized events.  AHHAB''s creation was organized by the Mayor's Office of Special Events and was charged with organizing events that had been planned by the Youth Services Department in the schools.  One of the primary intentions of the formation of the board was to encourage wider community involvement in the planning process.

The Aurora Hispanic Heritage Advisory Board is responsible for planning, and participating in, activities that promote a deeper understanding of the Hispanic community. Funds shall be used primarily for AHHAB approved activities and are also used for board participation in, or sponsorship of other activities.
