The Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institute (CHLI) is an American non-profit and non-partisan organization founded in 2003 by members of the Congressional Hispanic Conference. The 501(c)(3) organization was begun by Florida Representatives Lincoln Díaz-Balart, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Díaz-Balart with Cuban-American congressperson Diaz-Balart as its first Chairman. The CHLI's purpose is to serve as an educational arm of the Conference to bring awareness, access and opportunities for Americans of Hispanic and Portuguese descent. It was formed to act as a balancing "counterweight" to the Democratic Party majority of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute.
