The State Official Hispanic Heritage Month event featured a keynote presentation by Dr. Juan Andrade Jr., president of the U.S. Hispanic Leadership Institute; a message from Alba Espinosa, a student at Penn State University; and a tribute to Sgt. Juan Chow-Kai, who has served in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Dr. Andrade is a Presidential Medal recipient and has earned five college degrees. As president of the U.S. Hispanic Leadership Institute, he has helped to train more than 200,000 present and future leaders, registered more than 2 million voters, and has published hundreds of studies on Hispanic demographics.
"As we work to ensure equality, justice and prosperity for our Latino community, it is important to send a clear message about our collaborative efforts in strengthening and empowering through unity the Latino communities in Pennsylvania," said Norman Bristol Colon, executive director, Governor's Advisory Commission on Latino Affairs. "This celebration acknowledges the vitality and accomplishments of the Latino community in Pennsylvania as an important element of the commonwealth and its future.
"With strategic alliances and initiatives, we will mold an agenda of progress in education, health, politics and the economy. When Latinos move closer to their American dream, we all move forward and closer to achieving a more perfect union."
The Hispanic Heritage Month Ceremony is hosted by the Governor's Advisory Commission on Latino Affairs in conjunction with the Latino-Hispanic Professional Association of Central Pennsylvania, the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Central Pennsylvania, and Estamos Unidos of Pennsylvania Inc.
