MISSION STATEMENT:

Cl100 is an independent non-partisan Political Action Committee with an emphasis on business networking that is comprised of Latino professionals and entrepreneurs with distinguished backgrounds in their respective fields. CL100 was formed in order to provide a forum for influential Latinos to actively participate in the political process by promoting candidates that demonstrate a commitment to social issues that are consistent with the long term growth and prosperity of the Latino community. CL00 intends to promote candidates that foster change in the existing political structures.

By virtue of the organization's composition, the organization will likewise provide access to key business and political leaders through its involvement in networking and fundraising activities. Accordingly, the depth of the membership's influence in their respective fields will provide the other members with access to a broader network of contacts, both within and outside the Latino business community. CL100 intends to enhance the influence of the members by providing a uniform voice on identified issues, while also providing members with opportunities to further their individual career goals through access to an influential group of individual members and their networks.
