Dear Members, Colleagues and Friends,
It is with great pleasure and humility that I accepted the nomination for President of the Houston Association of Hispanic Media Professionals (HAHMP). I believe this organization not only represents the craft that we have chosen as a career, but, it also embodies the commitments, hopes and dreams of all of us who worked in the mass communications field.

Every year, the Houston Association of Hispanic Media Professionals awards 10 scholarships to high school and college students aspiring to become journalists. This year, 42 applications were received and reviewed for consideration.
Our HAHMP gala was a blast and we would like to thank all our corporate partners for their contribution and supporting this very special event. The night started with a cocktail reception at the J.W. Marriott Hotel in the Galleria where our silent auction drew many people to the tables displaying some wonderful items. Later on that night a big round of applause greeted Minerva Perez, 2008 Lifetime Achievement Award Honoree, as she stepped up on stage to receive her award. Minerva, now a co-host and partner of Latino Talk TV, was previously an anchor with KRTK-TV for 15 years. Before that, she was an anchor and reporter with KTLA-TV in Los Angeles but as Minerva said, “I ain't finished yet”.
