LACHMA also participates in various activities and discussions with key county executives and various elected officials regarding issues of concern impacting Hispanic employees and the Hispanic community at large.

The Association’s logo was created in 1983 by Juan M. Medina, an art major at the East Los Angeles Occupational Center. The artist designed the logo to depict our Aztec culture blending with our emergence into the professional world, symbolized by the bar charts and reports in the background and an arm holding an attaché case in the foreground.
