Benny Agosto Jr., a partner with Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Sorrels, Agosto & Friend of Houston, Texas. As the Hispanic National Bar Association National President, Agosto brings many important issues to the forefront of the national debate. Although those issues are voiced throughout the duration of the year, there is also a specific day that HNBA members travel to Washington, DC, and speak to legislators about issues pertinent to all Hispanics. “The HNBA Legislative Day is paramount for us,” Agosto says. “It is an important day to advocate for Hispanics in regards to the fair and equitable administration of justice.” Another important HNBA event is the Mid-Year Corporate Counsel Conference. “It brings together general counsels and is an excellent opportunity for young Hispanic lawyers to participate in the job fair, attend seminars on promoting favorable minority hiring practices, and, most importantly, to make connections between members to continue the advancement of all Hispanics in the national legal community.”
