“My main purpose in accepting these positions in agencies and organizations like those-- which obviously define the future of our community, is to give the Hispanic people a voice to represent them, and thus reinforce the works performed by Grupo Latinoamericano. Connecting with people is important. A lesson I have learned is that you can’t move anyone into action unless you move them first with emotion. The heart really comes before the head”.
