Lizárraga said, “the Hispanic community is playing a bigger and bigger role in economic development, business expansion, productivity and the legislative process,” He continued, “having President Bush attend our Legislative Conference to discuss issues important to our nation truly reflects the impact of Hispanic entrepreneurs.”
