(ISLHA)The goal of  ISLHA is to become the largest
and most influential Latino/Hispanic association in

be seen as a strong, unified voice in the Indiana

ISLHA looks to help its members learn the political
process in state and local government from the
ground up.  Often, achieving positive results in the
Indiana legislature requires patience, an
understanding of the complex nuances associated
with each legislative committee, and a keen
adaptability to the unexpected; sometimes it’s a
marathon while other times it can be a full out sprint.
