Jay Pearce, WVIK\u2019s general manager, said, \u201cBringing Latino USA to the Quad Cities is one way WVIK is becoming more involved with issues surrounding an increasing Hispanic population.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pearce added, \u201cWe have also recently joined the Greater Quad Cities Hispanic Chamber of Commerce as a way of making important contacts so we can become more aware of the needs of Latinos in our community and explore new partnerships.\u201d<\/p>\n

Latino influences and contributions continue to have an increasingly important impact on the evolving identity, life and reality of the United States<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> and the Quad Cities community.
