Four Honored at First Annual Hispanic Achievement & Business Leadership Awards (HABLA)
ATLANTA, Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Over two hundred guests attended the first annual Hispanic Achievement & Business Leadership Awards (HABLA) -- held on October 9th at 103 West in Buckhead. The event, which marked the end of Hispanic Heritage Month, highlighted the accomplishments of the city's Hispanic civic and business leaders by honoring individual achievement in four categories: unsung hero, civic/government, entrepreneur and corporate executive.
"The Hispanic community is a tremendous engine for economic growth in Atlanta," said Ralph E. Herrera, President of Lanza Group, LLC, the event's organizer. "HABLA represents an opportunity to celebrate our successes, while recognizing the contributions of those who have made a difference."
HABLA also featured Univision 34's Paola Salazar as Mistress of Ceremonies and included speeches from Lisa Borders, President of the Atlanta City Council, Salvador De Lara, General Consul of Mexico in Atlanta, and Jose Cancela, author of The Power of Business En Espanol.
"As a first of its kind event in Atlanta, the response to HABLA was overwhelming," said Herrera. "We anticipate that it will quickly become the leading B2B Hispanic event in the marketplace."
Hispanic Achievement & Business Leadership Awards (HABLA) was presented by Verizon Wireless and sponsored by: Mundo Hispanico, The Atlanta Journal- Constitution, Lanza Group, the Georgia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Kroger, Viva 105.7FM, El Patron 105.3FM and Univision 34.
