The
Right Words for Today's Business
Excerpt
from "Hispanic Heritage Reception"
Presented by R. Steve Letbetter, President, Chairman & CEO Reliant
Energy
September 2000
For many years we have been involved in Hispanic service organizations that have provided education, training, networking, employment and business opportunities within the Latino community....The need for improved educational attainment among members of the Hispanic community, an increasingly influential population, is of paramount importance in today's global community.......
While we celebrate Hispanic Heritage for just one month each year, there are the other eleven months of the year where we, at Reliant Energy, continue to give our time, our energy and our hearts to make sure programs like those of the Chicano Family Center succeed.....
When former President Reagan signed the bill on August 17, 1988, creating Hispanic Heritage Month, he did so with the intention that it be used to recognize and honor the many contributions of Hispanics to our country.
More than five hundred years worth of contributions.
Those contributions have made an indelible mark on the history and culture of the entire United States.
As former President
Bush said, "Perhaps no single ethnic group has had as profound an
impact upon our nation as Hispanic America. From the days of the first
explorers in what is now Florida, Texas and California, the Hispanic
people have played a major role in taming this vast country and
developing its abundant resources."
Reliant Energy is proud to be a participant in this celebration and we
are very proud to be a part of the Hispanic community.
Muchas gracias mis amigos (Thank you my friends)
