Hispanic Executive’s mission is to unite the leaders of the new majority by turning a spotlight on our community’s most influential Latinos. We tell stories about Latinos and for Latinos.
Valley Initiative for Development and Advancement (VIDA)‘s Felida Villarreal returns for our American Dream series to speak with former presidential candidate Julián Castro, who was appointed CEO of the Latino Community Foundation at the start of 2024.
Castro last spoke with Hispanic Executive as part of our Conversations at the Top series during his bid for president in 2020. He previously served on the San Antonio City Council in 2001 and then was elected mayor in 2009, making him the youngest mayor of a Top 50 American city at the time. He served in the Obama administration as US Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
In this exclusive interview with Villarreal, Castro speaks on driving Latino civic engagement in California, how elected officials can better serve Latino communities, and key strategies for supporting communities statewide.
