Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month! This annual observance, celebrated from September 15th to October 15th, is a month-long celebration to recognize the significant contributions Hispanic/Latino Americans have made in the United States.

Some of our employees sat down with Board Member, Walter Tejada, to have a discussion on how the Hispanic Community has helped to shape change for the future. The video highlights the essence of this year’s theme “Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together”. Listen in on how our employees are contributing to creating a space for more Hispanic and Latinx people to find careers and business opportunities.
