SHPE meaning in Business ?

The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) was founded in Los Angeles, California in 1974 by a group of engineers employed by the city of Los Angeles. Their objective was to form a national organization of professional engineers to serve as role models in the Latino community.

Social networking was the key basis for the organization. SHPE quickly established two student chapters to begin the network that would grow to encompass the nation as well as reach countries outside the United States. Today SHPE's network includes close to 300 chapters throughout the U.S.

On June 1, 2017, SHPE announced Raquel Tamez would join the organization as Chief Executive Officer. One month later, Miguel Alemañy was announced as the new Chair of the National Board of Directors.

Along with AISES, NSBE, and SWE, SHPE is a founding member of the 50K Coalition, a collaborative of more than 40 organizations focused on producing 50,000 diverse engineering graduates annually by 2025. SHPE is also a member of the STEM Education Coalition which works to raise awareness about the critical role that STEM education plays in enabling the U.S. to remain the economic and technological leader of the global marketplace.
