“Hispanic-owned businesses in Illinois’ Sixth District, and across the country, are critically important to the American economy’s strength and vitality,” said Congressman Peter Roskam. “It’s a great honor to receive the ‘President’s Award.’ The Hispanic Chamber represents nearly three million businesses – entrepreneurs, small business people, and job creators that are the engine of America’s economy. They are a testament to our free enterprise system that has made the American dream possible.”
“It is my honor to present Congressman Roskam with this year’s USHCC President’s Award as he is a champion for small business.” said Javier Palomarez, President and CEO of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. “The issues that Congressman Roskam is currently addressing affect the bottom line of the Hispanic business community. He also understands that the key to economic growth lies within the American entrepreneur.”
