The growth of the Hispanic population in Charlotte has been exponential. (See, we do use high school math in real life.) The latest US census figures show Charlotte's Hispanic population exceeds 112,000, or more than 10% of the total county population—an increase of more than 1,500% since 1990. It's time to pay attention, the Latin American Chamber of Commerce?s Astrid Chirinos tells us. The Charlotte Chamber has teamed with the LACC to promote The Hispanic Market Advantage Conference. The two-day event on Nov.16 and 17 will be at the Mint Museum uptown. For more info, gohere. |
