Congressional Leaders Baca, Hinojosa, Ros-Lehtinen and Roybal-Allard Will Receive Top Awards at LULAC National Legislative Gala

The League of United Latin American Citizens will honor Reps. Joe Baca, Ruben Hinojosa, Lucille Roybal-Allard and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen at its 11th Annual National Legislative Awards Gala to be held on Feb. 27 at the J.W. Marriot in Washington, D.C.

“Rep. Joe Baca will be receiving the Leadership Award for his outstanding work as Chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Without his efforts a tremendous educational resource for the Hispanic community would have been lost,” said LULAC National President Rosa Rosales. “The President’s Award will go to Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard for her support for programs that address underage drinking, violence against women and child labor. The Legislative Awards go to Reps. Ruben Hinojosa and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. LULAC deeply appreciates their outstanding efforts to champion the cause of Hispanic education in Congress as well as their leadership on immigration, education and the environment.”

The Legislative Awards were established to recognize individuals who championed those issues that are most important to the Latino community. Gala attendees include members of Congress, ambassadors, federal officials and Hispanic leaders.

Corporate sponsors of the event include Ford Motor Company, Bank of America, Comcast, Verizon Communications, Inc., General Motors, Univision Communications, Inc., AT&T, The Coca-Cola Company, Miller Brewing Company, PepsiCo, Inc., The Procter and Gamble Company, Shell Oil Company, Sprint/Nextel, National Education Association, AARP, LNESC and LULAC Council 1.

Tickets to the black-tie gala and table sponsorships are available. The gala begins with a reception at 6 p.m., the awards program at 7 p.m. and dinner at 8 p.m. For tickets or table sponsorships, call David Perez at (202) 833-6130 ext. 13 or dperez@lulac.org.

The League of United Latin American Citizens, the oldest and largest Hispanic membership organization in the country, advances the economic conditions, educational attainment, political influence, health and civil rights of Hispanic Americans through community-based programs operating at more than 700 LULAC councils nationwide.”*
