Long Beach Latino Economic Summit
Established in 2018, the Latino Economic Summit is an annual event that brings academic professionals, government officials, city departments, community-based organizations, and neighborhood leaders together to discuss important issues facing Long Beach’s Latinx community.
To help facilitate this discussion, various socioeconomic statistics on Latinos in Long Beach are presented through the annual Long Beach Latino Economic Report. The report is made possible through a collaborative effort among CSULB’s Department of Economics, CSULB’s Center for Community Engagement, the Long Beach Economic Development Department, and Hispanic-Latino human and social service nonprofit Centro CHA.
