Puerto Rican Heritage Award
PUERTO RICAN HERITAGE AWARD
Each year, Comité Noviembre selects people who are making a difference in this country, empowering others, and shaping the future of not only the Puerto Rican community but of all Americans.
Our list of honorees is extensive and impressive. The list includes Puerto Ricans from all backgrounds and walks of life, professions, and areas of expertise. The impact of the contributions each of these individuals has made to Puerto Rico, to this country, and to the world has been immeasurable. But one thing that has remained constant and crystal clear for each of them is their unconditional love and commitment to their culture, history, and Puerto Rico.
The Puerto Rican Heritage Awards are presented each year at the Comité Noviembre Annual Benefit the first Friday in November.
The 2024 Puerto Rican Heritage Nomination Form will be available TBA
