Latino rights in America has several groups and organizations to represent them, for example NOMAR which is a National, Non-profit, all volunteer organization committed to Improving educational and employment opportunities for and defending the civil rights of Hispanic Americans. NOMAR is dedicated to the better life of Hispanics and work with other organizations to do so.
History
A group of Hispanic leaders who determined a need for a national nonprofit, volunteer group to address issues of employment and civil rights for Hispanic Americans in the Southwest and West. The feasibility of joining another organization or building a new one was first discussed in Albuquerque, New Mexico in January 10, 1998. The feasibility study team determined that a new, unique and centrally focused organization would need to be formed. A formation/constitutional meeting was held in Fort Worth, Texas in March of 1998.
The multitude of major issues facing the Hispanic Community were identified and a determination made to focus on improving opportunities for Latinos in employment and defending civil rights via a network of Hispanic professionals willing to give their time and energy. A plan was adopted to introduce our organization to the Community and to major employers in the Federal government. Within 30 days, the board of Directors traveled to Washington, D.C. and met with many federal agencies and Hispanic organizations to begin meeting the goals and objectives of NOMAR.
"This new group named NOMAR will gather members, form chapters throughout the United States and work with other Latino organizations where appropriate to enhance opportunities for our community."
