Join us at the Summit on November 10
at the prestigious Tournament Players Club
in Tampa, Florida for the John S. Martinez
Golf Outing. The Golf Outing is the official
kick-off of the NHCSL Summit. The Golf
Outing is a fundraiser to benefit the John
S. Martinez Scholarship Fund that was
created to honor the legacy of the late
Representative Martinez and continue his
legacy to help young high school students
who aspire having a political career.
Representative Martinez was a trailblazer in
the Connecticut State legislature, serving
in office for more than five years. Martinez
initiated local legislation in those areas
of most concern to our constituents, mainly
education and economic development. He also
worked diligently in the local community to
sponsor and support initiatives that would
have a direct impact on those under-served
segments of society.
Locally and nationally,
Martinez worked to promote the efforts of
the Fatherhood Initiative, making the needs
and concerns of all fathers heard,
especially those fathers with limited access
to education, employment and other
opportunities. Martinez took the helm of the
NHCSL in the summer of 2001, and as
President of the NHCSL he worked
aggressively to bring the organization
together and to the forefront as a national
policy body representing Hispanic elected
officials from throughout the country. In
2002, Representative Martinez was killed in
a tragic automobile accident, yet his legacy
will continue.
Join us for this special Golf Outing in his
honor. Register at

 On
Thursday, September 15, 2005, the Florida
Hispanic Legislative Caucus elected
Representative Juan C. Zapata as their new
Chairman. He had previously held the post of
Treasurer. He was nominated by former
Chairman Rep. Gustavo Barreiro, and was
confirmed unanimously. Representative Zapata
becomes the first Colombian-American to
achieve this post.
Rep. Zapata was first elected to the Florida
Legislature in 2002, and subsequently re-elected.
He was instrumental in the formalizing of
the caucus in 2003 and established the
Caucus’ scholarship fund that has awarded
over $30,000 to Hispanic students.
The Florida Hispanic Legislative Caucus is
comprised of all 15 Hispanic State
Representatives in the Florida Legislature.
It is a bi-partisan organization that
advocates and promotes the well being of the
rapidly growing Hispanic community in
Florida. |
