The selected poster was submitted by Ms. Irene Matos Chan, Senior IT Manager in the Square Tech Computer Repair & Training Center for the Castle Square Tenants Organization. Both the theme and poster reinforce the need to ensure diverse voices and perspectives are welcomed in decision-making processes, thereby helping to build stronger communities and a stronger Nation.
The theme invites us to celebrate Hispanic Heritage and to reflect on how great our tomorrow can be if we hold onto our resilience and hope. It encourages us to reflect on all of the contributions Hispanics have made in the past, and will continue to make in the future. It is also a reminder that we are stronger together. Therefore, congratulations to Ms. Adriana Castillo, and Ms. Eliana De León, for winning the poster contest. NCHEPM
After a close evaluation and a voting process from the NCHEPM Council Executive Board, we are happy announce a tie between two posters. Therefore, congratulations to Ms. Adriana Castillo, and Ms. Eliana De León, for winning the poster contest. The poster shown here was created by Ms. Adriana Castillo, Human Rights Activist and Child Developmental Specialist.
Mr. Jesús Cudemus, Digital Services Division, Office of Safety Recommendations & Communications, National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for winning the poster contest. Mr. Cudemus submitted the winning poster, stating “The infinity ribbon design was inspired by the theme, Hispanics: Be Proud of Your Past and Embrace the Future. The greatness of America can be measured by the collective contributions of its citizens past and present, and our future will be measured by our ability to uphold and instill unto others our most valuable assets: our shared culture, history, knowledge, and sense of community. As Hispanics, taking pride in the accomplishments and achievements of our mentors and our ancestors brings into focus the endless possibilities available to us today and boosts our capacity for embracing the future. This is our infinite cycle.”
The 2019 Hispanic Heritage Month Poster submitted by Sydnee Masias. Ms. Masias is a Scientific Illustrator for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Aissha Hernandez-Ramos from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in San Juan, Puerto Rico submitted the winning theme, stating “Although Hispanics share so much, we do also have very unique characteristics; and that, enhances us as a group. Our traditions will always be part of who we are. As our history shapes our character; culture defines our beauty; and traditions will enhance our future. History, culture and traditions define us; and we maintain alive because of that. We will keep talking to the world, we will let them know we are here, with our history and culture, as we will keep raising our voice with all we are: a legacy of traditions .”
The National Latinx Heritage Month celebrates the histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central, and South American. Latinx/Hispanic Heritage Month begins September 15 and ends October 15. The timing is key because the Independence days of Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Mexico fall between these dates. This Research Guide will show what is available at IOT.
