HISPANICS..STAND UP AND BE COUNTED
It is not the census, I am referring to...it is about raising your expectations as an American. It is about receiving your benefits of the American Dream! It is about working hard, making a strong contribution to our community and being rewarded directly in proportion to results without exclusion, lawful, & fair to all concerned.
YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR DESTINY
Born in 1942 in South Texas, I experienced numerous issues that would have discouraged most to just "give up". In school, college, work, and now retirement, I found that getting ahead requires strong parents, mentors, education, and the belief that if I worked harder than others and produced higher results, success would come!
I grew up during the time of integration mandated by the Federal Govt due to improper education practices. In my career, as an successful recruiter and business owner, I learned how major corporations operate in their employment and promotion practices. All of my career, Hispanics have had difficulty "earning" their place in society and taking charge of their destiny despite 30%+ Hispanic demographics.
NO HISPANIC BOARD MEMBERS?
Now at retirement, I have time to focus on racial parity and the lack of Hispanic representation in the Board Level and Executive ranks of non-profit firms. There is a significant problem with racial disparity within Colleges, School Districts and Chamber of Commerce in the Humble, Atascocita, and Kingwood area. In ad-dressing some of these issues, there is a cavalier attitude of acknowledgement, but no fear of consequences or proactive plans to bring their staffing plans in ac-cord with the demographic populations that have been shared with HESI. Trust me, it will not change, unless Hispanic's question and demand the accountability. Joe Ramirez, President
STAND UP & BE COUNTED NOW!
