Article Editor: Christopher Laird Simmons
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - September 17,
2004 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- More apropos than anybody could have
imagined when originally scheduled prior to this year's devastating
hurricane season, the U.S. Hispanic Contractors Association will
meet for their annual national conference in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida Thursday, September 23 through Saturday, September 25, at
the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center, 1950
Eisenhower Blvd.
Participants in the conference, which is themed, "Framing the
Future: Diversity Builds the American Dream," will gather from
across the country and hear presentations from newsmakers
including:**
- Alberto Gonzales, Counsel to President George W. Bush
(Saturday, 12:45 p.m. Eastern)
- U.S. Congressman Ciro Rodriquez (D-Texas) (Saturday, 12:45
p.m. Eastern)
- Alfonso Martinez-Fonts, Spec. Assist. to Homeland Security
Secretary Tom Ridge (Friday, 8 a.m. Eastern)
- Jose Abreu, Florida Secretary of Transportation (Friday, 12:15
p.m. Eastern)
[**Note: partial list of speakers confirmed
as of release date.]
Foremost in the minds of many conferees will be renewed concern
surrounding efforts to re-build after the devastation suffered in
the region following three major storms so far this hurricane
season.
The U.S. Hispanic Contractors Association places a high priority
on quality workmanship, strong professional ethics, and the fight
against fly-by-night profiteers and opportunists who always seem to
swarm to the scene of destruction following natural disasters to
prey on those already victimized by major weather events.
The conference is sponsored in part by construction industry
leaders including The Home Depot, ICI Paints, Bosch, Makita USA, and
Hilti.
All conference events at the convention center are open to news
media. For a complete convention schedule or more information,
please contact Harold Cook at (512)731-2445.
