About Us
Promote Public Service as a Professional Career
The National Council of Hispanic Employment Program Managers (NCHEPM) is a body consisting of an executive board and membership from multiple federal agencies and other organizations across the United States. Most of our members have been appointed as their agency’s designee responsible for building relationships between Federal agencies and the Hispanic community or other minority communities.
Our mission is to:
Promote public service as a professional career within the Hispanic community.
Network and share information on resources and best practices regarding results-oriented programs successful in overcoming the under-utilization of Hispanic Americans in the Federal Government workforce.
Create and administer public and private partnerships that result in an increase of Hispanics in the Federal government.
Serve as a principle advisory body to senior officials on Hispanic employment issues.
Assist Special Emphasis Program Managers in every aspect of their job and programs.
NCHEPM Executive Board Members
It takes a team of dedicated volunteers to make sure our Council is reaching out to as many agencies, organizations and communities as possible. We are fortunate to have some of the best federal employees dedicating their time, energy and expertise to our mission.
