CHLI awards are presented to exceptional leaders who support the advancement of the Hispanic community in the United States. This year CHLI will be honoring Congressman Jeff Denham (CA-10) and Congressman Mike Quigley (IL-5) with its 2016 Leadership in Public Service Award.
Venezuelan opposition leader, Leopoldo Lopez, currently a political prisoner, will be recognized with CHLI’s 2016 International Leadership Award. His wife, the distinguished human rights activist Lilian Tintori, will accept the award on Mr. Lopez’s behalf if he is still imprisoned on April 20th.
