In meeting its mission, the CHPRD is assisted annually by a cadre of exceptional professionals who are committed to the empowerment of New Jersey's Hispanic community. Established in 1989, the Advisory Committee serves two primary functions. The first is to review all proposals received by the CHPRD in order to provide funding recommendations to the Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs and the CHPRD's Director. The second function is to provide guidance on policy issues to the CHPRD.

Individuals interested in serving on the Advisory Committee must be a New Jersey resident.
Members are appointed by the Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs. Members are appointed to a two year term and may serve more than one term.
