WASHINGTON, Feb. 23, 2016 -- The Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institute (CHLI) will host its 12th Annual Gala & Leadership Awards on Wednesday, April 20, 2016. The commemoration will take place at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel located on 1150 22 ST NW, in Washington, D.C. 20037.
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.
