To give you some insight about my bias for this great organization; I was a public policy fellow on the Hill through CHCI back in 2007. Thanks to them, I learned a lot about the legislative process at the federal level. They do a great job developing the next generation of Latino leadership in government affairs through their internship and fellowship programs.
