Henry L. “Hank” Lacayo Institute for Workforce and Community Studies
Our Mission:
The Henry L. “Hank” Lacayo Institute for Workforce & Community Studies (hereafter, the HLI) examines the connections between the development of economic opportunities through job creation and sustainability and its impact on the quality of people’s lives. The HLI is an independent non-profit, non-partisan public policy organization. Its objectives are to address the importance of workforce and community issues relating to the sustainability of our regional, statewide, national and global economies, the vitality of communities, and the connection between opportunity and quality of life in society. The HLI is named for workforce and community leader Henry L. “Hank” Lacayo, long-time labor leader and advisor to U.S. Presidents, Governors and other political leaders nationally and internationally.
