About Us
Two individuals began researching the concept of Latin Heritage Cards in April 2006. On June 10, 2010, the organization was founded by three individuals, who have traveled to various countries of Latin origin and have embraced the history and culture. They all thought that it would be selfish of them not to share their passion and enthusiasm about Latin Heritage.
As we continue to build this organization, we have found individuals that compliment and live the mission of the company. With regards to experience, we have a team whose members have held managerial and project management positions at top institutions in: Education, Entertainment, Spanish Language Broadcasting/Cable, Marketing, Research, Sales, Supply Chain, Banking & Strategy, Corporate Event Planning.
Some of these companies are Fortune 1000 and highly respected in the Latin community.
