HITEC is firmly committed to inclusivity. We welcome and support all people—regardless of background—across every facet of our work and community.
This commitment applies to participation in:
- Leadership development programs,
- Events (including our in‑person summits, regional events, and online programming), and
- Awards and recognition programs.
HITEC does not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, veteran status, or any other status protected by applicable law. We are dedicated to providing equitable access, fostering belonging, and honoring excellence and impact from leaders of all backgrounds who contribute to the advancement of the technology community and the Hispanic community.
HITEC complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations concerning non‑discrimination, equal opportunity, and the protection of civil rights. Our policies and practices are designed to prevent discrimination, harassment, and retaliation; ensure equitable access to our programs, events, and awards; and provide reasonable accommodations consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other accessibility requirements.
We continuously review our programs and awards criteria to ensure they remain inclusive, merit‑based, and aligned with HITEC’s mission and values. Our staff, volunteers, and partners are expected to uphold these standards at all HITEC‑affiliated activities.
