ASPIRA recognizes that the lack of representation of Latinos in the Federal Government can have a negative effect on the Latino community when decisions are made regarding funding, applying regulations and others. It also recognizes the extreme and growing under-representation of Latinos in the Federal workforce (7%) vs. the civilian labor force (13%).

• the full implementation of the President’s Executive Order that mandates efforts to increase the representation of Latinos in the Federal workforce;
• efforts to ensure that the Office of Personnel Management report on Latino representation directly to Congress and well as to the President.
