The Haitian Roundtable (HRT), founded in New York in 2008, is an organization comprised of Haitian-American professionals who are committed to civic engagement as well as philanthropic endeavors benefiting Haiti, Haitian organizations and causes. The organization seeks to heighten awareness locally and nationally of Haitians as an emerging constituency among key stakeholders and institutions through networking, forums and events. The Haitian Roundtable also aims to inform, advocate and promote Haiti as a positive brand.

On October 23, 2018, more than 200 Haitian-Americans and friends of Haiti gathered at the elegant Cecil Steakhouse in Harlem to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Haitian Roundtable.
The star-studded audience lauded the spectacular accomplishments of Haitian-Americans and HRT's mission of redefining the narrative about Haiti and Haitians in the United States.
