The HNBA Board of Governors, HNBA VIA Fund Board of Directors, and HNBA National Office Team recognize the magnitude of the global pandemic surrounding Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and its unprecedented impact on our members, partners, community members, and the legal profession overall.

As the National Voice of the Hispanic Legal Community, and a voice for the interests and concerns of our Hispanic communities, HNBA and VIA have gathered a list of informational and community resources, including public health information, during this time of national need. We are here to help each other and to stay connected in this time of social distancing.

To help control the spread of COVID-19 and in response to recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the White House, the HNBA National Office Team is teleworking, continuing operations and available through normal means. We encourage you to bookmark this site for easy access and to share the information through your networks. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
