Avanzando ERG
AVANZADO
Avanzando was founded in the summer of 2019 and is an Employee Resource Group (ERG) dedicated to the advancement and inclusion of the Hispanic/Latinx community within the City of Milwaukee.
"Avanzando" means "moving forward" in Spanish.
Our mission? To promote the advancement of the Hispanic/Latinx community working at the City of Milwaukee by providing personal and professional development opportunities that attract, engage, and retain employees. We seek to foster awareness, understanding, and inclusion of Hispanic/Latinx heritage within City services.
¡Gracias! Thank you!
With the theme "The Year of Housing," we proudly celebrated our cultura y herencia at City Hall on Thursday, October 2! We also took the opportunity to shine the spotlight on individuals/organizatons that have greatly contributed to the City and its Hispanic/Latino community!
Special thanks to our City leadership, supporters, and sponsors for making this a special day to recognize our culture, contributions, and the many ways Hispanic/Latino employees continue to make an impact across the City of Milwaukee. The celebration continues until October 15, so make sure to check out other events around the City!
