About HHAE

Houston Hispanic Architects & Engineers, Inc. (HHAE)

HHAE was established in 1983, with a goal to unite the Hispanic architecture and engineering firms in the Houston region to create a platform for its member companies to be recognized by local officials, aid in the procurement of opportunities for work within the industry and offer an opportunity for networking between other Hispanic owned firms in the region.

Since its inception, HHAE has evolved from a small organization of business owners to a large network of architecture and engineering professionals across the Houston region. Disciplines such as Civil Engineers, Architects, Mechanical, Geotechnical Engineers, Traffic Engineers, Surveyors, Construction Professionals, and more are well represented.

The objectives of HHAE are to organize and unite in fellowship the Hispanic architects and engineers of the Houston Metropolitan Area; to combine their efforts so as to promote the scientific and practical development of the professions; to promote economic growth among the members of the association; to advance the standard of the architectural and engineering sciences and the art of planning and constructing; to coordinate the construction industry and the professions of architecture and engineering to insure the advancement of the living standards of its members through their improved environment; to make the profession an ever-increasing service to society; and to support future generations of Hispanic architects and engineers through scholarships.

Through monthly luncheons, a yearly golf tournament, and an annual gala, HHAE stays true to its mission to unite, promote, and connect Hispanic architecture and engineering professionals and inspire the next generation. Each year, these events help to raise funds to award scholarships to deserving Hispanic high school seniors in the Houston area who are pursuing degrees in engineering, architecture, or surveying. In 2024, HHAE was fortunate to create an endowment at the University of Houston to expand its current scholarship program and begin offering scholarships to upper classmen university students within the Cullen College of Engineering or the Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture and Design.

Our members are not only dedicated to their profession and very active in various professional organizations, but they are also committed to the development of our community and are involved in many activities to provide services toward the cultural endowment of our community.

Sincerely,

The Board of Directors
