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.
AHHAB Events in the Aurora Community
- Community Breakfast (since 2000)
- El Día de los Niños (since 2001)
- Fiesta de Luces (since 2005)
