We’re pleased to announce, albeit in a quiet voice, that the HENAAC Board of Directors has voted [unanimously], and the initial fruits of our labors begun with a comprehensive Brand Audit will soon be manifest in the public domain.
Wait, HENAAC? Hmm? Yes, we know, we’re working on that. But it stands (or, once stood) for Hispanic Engineer National Achievement Awards. The non-profit was founded in 1989 “as a means of identifying, honoring, and documenting the contributions of outstanding Hispanic American science, engineering, technology and math professionals.” Today the Los Angeles-based organization is heightening its focus on educational programs that both develop and inspire the professionals who will be honored by the HENAAC conference in years to come.
If you’re doing the math, and even if you’re not, 1989 to present day makes for a 20th Anniversary this year, and we’re proud to be a part of the moment and, indeed, the movement. Now, more than ever, we need to not just preserve but significantly increase America’s strength in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), and our inner cities and other under-served communities hold amazing promise as the talent pools for future success. Hats off to HENAAC for continuing to stoke the fires and stay the visionary course. More news soon….
