Hispanic Program

Executive Order 13230, Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans Commission strengthens the Nation's capacity to provide high-quality education and increase opportunities for Hispanic Americans to participate in and benefit from Federal education programs.  Executive Order 13171 was issued on October 12, 2000, to help improve the representation of Hispanics in Federal employment.

In September 1997, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management developed and called upon agencies to adopt a Hispanic Employment Initiative (9-Point Plan) to improve the representation of Hispanics in the Federal workforce. The nine-point plan is available on OPM's Web site at http://www.opm.gov/feorp02/ROTNPP.asp.
