CHICAGO - Julian Castro, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary and 2020 presidential candidate, announced that he will be the next CEO of the Latino Community Foundation (LFC), a philanthropic organization based in California that invests in Latino-led organizations and works to increase Latino participation in politics.
The announcement comes days after the Latino Victory Project, another influential Hispanic organization, also appointed a new chief executive. On Tuesday, it appointed Sindy Benavides as its new president and CEO after President Biden tapped its previous leader to become ambassador to Croatia.
