Orange County is around 30% Hispanic and in other surrounding counties that number is higher, according to Pedro Turushina, president and CEO of the Hispanic Chamber of Metro Orlando. Yet less than 5% of the decision-making positions are held by Hispanic leaders. There’s a big gap to help elevate those businesses and professionals to the next level.
