♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ Introducing Victor and Genesis Ortega.

Buenos Noches, Bueno Noches!

Wait, hold on a second, I think.

Come on, we're Latinos and we're live on television and we can do a lot more better.

Let's go back out and we'll come back in a moment.

Let's do it again.

Take two.

Everybody take two.

One, two, three.

Here we go again.

When a.

Logic.

Oh, hey, you.

Welcome, welcome.

Welcome to the Power 100 Who's Who in Latino Pennsylvania Awards and Gala Celebration.

We're so excited for you to be here in Allentown, and we're so excited to see all of you here.

And I'm so excited to see you.

And I'm excited to see you.

I mean, I don't know.

It's like Deja vu.

Victor Hennessy's Vibes 39 I don't know.

Like we've we've done this before, right?

I think they should give us a show maybe.

Yes, I think you should give us a show.

Well, for those who don't know, we used to have a show.

We want to welcome everyone here today.

We want to welcome you to the magnificent Miller Symphony Hall.

We're going to be celebrated tonight, the amazing Latinos who are making a difference in not only here the Lehigh Valley, but also in the entire state.

So my feeling in addition, we're also recognizing our power.

100 honorees.

The Hispanic Chamber is also honoring a rising entrepreneur who is inspiring young Latinos to think big and a couple that have worked tirelessly to support and uplift our local Latino community.

That's right.

It is going to be a great night.

Whether you are sitting here with us or whether you're watching at home, get ready.

And like, you know, we Latinos like to do and like to say, let's get the party started.

Come on.

Yes, please welcome for this thing the chair of the convention, Gordon GALO.

When I notice.

When I notice, ladies and gentlemen, we are making history tonight right here in Allentown, Pennsylvania, because this is the first live televised award show for Latinos in Pennsylvania in the history of our state.

Because what we do at the Pennsylvania convention is this you go big or you go home.

So we went to thank PBS for being such a partner with us in recognizing the contributions of Power 100 who's who is Latino or Pennsylvania.

And let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, these individuals represent the very best of who we are.

We are here.

We are here to say many of them have paved the road for many of us to be where we are.

You know, the Latino community of Pennsylvania is 1.1 million.

And even though the state of the Latino is not equitable, it is indeed a strong Latino community.

So the power 100, just so you know what's going to happen, we are recognizing the cream of the crop la creme out and with Raquel Mooney the Yetta personas and these individuals, we are going to have a book with their stories and with their picture.

And when we publish the book, we are going to take it to every single town in Pennsylvania with a predominantly Latino community.

And we are going to make sure that every young Latino kid that go to any school district in Pennsylvania, that they have the opportunity to learn about them, about this Power 100 and why we are doing this.

Because, one, it is our legacy project, our legacy project to future generations.

But also we are doing this because you and I know that many times when we go to places around the state and around the nation, our stories are not published, our stories are not there.

So no more.

From now on, the history of Latinos in Pennsylvania will be told by us.

By us.

And they don't know this.

They don't know this.

But I'm going to tell them for the first time, they are expected to visit all these schools and talk to these young Latino children, because I want them to see in them inspiration and motivation and goodness and kindness, because that is who we are.

So, ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to thank the power 100 individuals because of you.

We are gracious eagle, senor siempre Melas, Bendigo.

Thank you, Norman.

Thank you, Norman.

The Power 100. Who's Who is an initiative of the Pennsylvania Latino Convention to immortalize Latino legacy and contributions to social, cultural and the professional fabric of the state.

As Norman mentioned, the Pennsylvania Latino Convention will publish a compendium of the stories of this remarkable people, these remarkable Latinos in this will be distributed into our communities where the majority, where we have a lot of Latinos, not only in our community, but in our schools as well.

This evening as part of our celebration, we're joined by a longtime advocate of Latinos in the Lehigh Valley community, Rick Anderson has served as president and chief executive officer of St Luke's University Health Network in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Since 1985, he has overseen St Luke's Evolution into one of the larger health networks in Pennsylvania and western New Jersey, from an operating budget of $63 million in 1985 to $3 billion in 2022.

St Luke's operates 14 campuses with the largest network of trauma centers in Pennsylvania and more than 300 outpatient locations in 11 counties and more than 18,000 employees.

Mr. Anderson played a major role in the establishment and development of the Bethlehem Partnership for a Healthy Community, an award winning national and local model of 200 community partners to improve the health status of the Greater Lehigh Valley.

Please join me in welcoming Mr. Richard Anderson.

They did a great job.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Coming up, I can't see anybody out there.

And I was kind of lonesome, so I asked Norman to sit next to me and I really appreciate it.

He kept me company and I really feel at home here and I feel very, very welcome.

And I want to congratulate everyone that put this event together, came up with a concept and really put the work in to get everybody together tonight.

And I'm proud to be here.

I really am proud to be here.

And, you know, I feel safe in saying this.

That's coming from a white male, Italian, Scottish Swede.

And I'm happy to be here.

So I want to say hello and a Lehigh Valley.

Welcome to our audience of Latino community leaders and the Latino convention.

It's wonderful.

Thank you for attending and for your leadership.

That's what this is about here tonight.

Your leadership acknowledging Hispanic Heritage Month is also an important thing that we are celebrating tonight.

And I didn't hear anything.

So I want to be the first since it's the first convention to acknowledge this month and acknowledge it and celebrate it with you.

It's a it's an honor.

It's an honor and a privilege to be asked to be part of the important event and to have the opportunity to speak to a gathering of outstanding and committed Latino leaders.

The fact that all of you are attending from all corners of Pennsylvania speaks to the fact of your commitment to leadership and to leadership in your respective communities.

Because when you leave here today, tonight, and the information you've learned and facts that you've learned, you'll go back to your communities and you'll share that information.

I would also like to acknowledge and thank Norman Bristol Colon for his leadership as a chief, as a chief diversity officer in the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development.

And for his presence here tonight.

Thank you, Norman.

Thank you.

I I just recently met Norman at an event at a Hispanic center in South Bethlehem in June, where we were unveiling a mural of Roberto Clemente, where Norman announced, get this, that I was an honorary Puerto Rican for the day.

It was a very special moment to be recognized in this fashion.

As you all know, leadership is so important in what we are able to accomplish.

Let me share several observations with you.

Leadership is essential to the success of any organization or any group and its ultimate success.

Authentic leadership is understanding your purpose, practicing solid values, leading with passion and self-discipline to obtain results by establishing meaningful relationships.

In my experiences, that's what Latinos do extremely well.

Their warm, their welcoming.

They establish relationships.

And in my experience in health care for 50 years, that's how you get things done.

Leadership is responsibility and accountability, not rank, privilege, title or money.

Leaders serve all their constituencies simultaneously.

Patients employ these, whatever your group is, communities.

There are no trade offs for leadership.

Leaders are respectful and gain respect by giving it.

Leaders value, character and commitment.

Leaders surround themselves with people who are smarter than they are.

No one ever has all the answers.

No one person is responsible for the success of an organization.

No one.

Leaders set new standards for excellence, and the status quo is never an option.

And leaders and leadership create lasting values.

Okay, I don't need bifocals, but I'm struggling here with this page.

Let me tell you about a success story about the Hispanic Center of the Lehigh Valley known as HCV and what can be accomplished through leadership, partnerships and relationships in 2014, which seems like a long time ago.

I was approached as the CEO of St Luke's to assist with a capital campaign to revitalize HCA.

LV.

At that time, I didn't know a lot about LV, but I found out with some thoughtful questions and some discussions with people in the community that HD always future was in serious doubt at that time.

HCA vs mission was very important.

When I did my discussions, it had a critical mission to serve our Latino community and others on the South Side, especially those who are vulnerable and less fortunate, are at risk moms.

Our children.

And the initial goal was to raise $1,000,000.

And I thought, oh, boy, boy, oh, boy, that's going to be a tough one.

Because I did I didn't know what to do.

I didn't know how to do it.

And I thought and I thought in 2014, 25% of HCV service area existed below the poverty line.

That wasn't a good thing, not a good thing at all.

So as I as I thought and I talked to people, a biblical verse came in to my mind before deciding to accept the challenge to assist with the capital campaign.

Now, those of you that know the Bible much better than I do, and I don't pretend to know the Bible well, but this verse came to mind, and my mom used to say it to me from time to time as I growing up.

To whom much is given, much is expected.

I like those comments out there.

I can't see your face, but thank you.

So what was next?

The challenge was accepted in typical St Luke's fashion.

Our St Luke's leaders rolled up their sleeves and worked in close partnership with the HCA, HCA, LV Board leadership and other community leaders.

And listen to this.

We raised $7 million over five years.

Remember I said we no one did it by themselves.

What the HCA of the board accomplished under the leadership of their chairman at the time, Donna Taggart, and our star executive director, Victoria Monteiro, was absolutely on sparring.

During that five years, HCA have experienced a remarkable renaissance.

All HCA, HCA, LV buildings were renovated, program services were significantly expanded.

Other community partnerships were established, existing relationships were strengthened, new relationships were formed, and HCA all the recovered from the brink of insolvency into a solid financial position, including a bank account with healthy cash reserves, HD HDL D is now thriving and an essential, integral part of Bethlehem in the Lehigh Valley, serving over 15,000 individuals annually.

Here's another amazing fact.

In the 2020 census numbers, the poverty level of those living in the HCA LV service area was reduced from 25% to 19%.

Hey, that was no accident.

People worked their ass off.

What is inspiring?

Through hard work, leadership and focus HCA, LV has made a huge difference in the lives of many individuals, families and our children.

What was the secret to HCA?

LV success?

Or, as some people in my field say, the secret sauce?

It wasn't difficult, but it wasn't easy.

Leadership, dedication, relationships.

And Victoria Monteiro, the executive director, and Donna Taggart, chairman of the Board.

That's how we did it.

Before I conclude tonight, I also want to share some additional thoughts with you.

Based on a lifetime of experience and attending the School of Hard Knocks.

The United States is the land of opportunity.

All of us who are privileged to be in this country are Americans.

It doesn't matter how we arrived here.

It doesn't matter how our parents, grandparents, or great grandparents arrived.

It may have been on the Mayflower through Ellis Island, an airplane or on foot.

What matters is we are all sons, daughters and descendants of immigrants.

What matters today?

We live in this great country and we are Americans.

In 1776, our country's founding fathers outlined principles, ideas and ideals to allow all Americans to be provided with equal opportunities and created a grand and bold experiment to take advantage of opportunities allowed by these principles, ideas and ideals.

Require us as citizens, as Americans, to be resilient and be able to overcome the inevitable obstacles we encounter every day.

No one ever gets through life without facing obstacles or experiencing setbacks.

And we are all have experienced adversity in different ways and been knocked down many times throughout our lives.

It doesn't matter how often you get knocked down.

What matters is how often you get up.

And when you're standing on your two feet.

Take time to help someone else.

In closing, I was raised in a middle class family in western P.A.

in a small city outside of Pittsburgh.

My father was a plumber, and my mother helped with the business while raising two sons.

I was taught during those years the importance of God, family and country.

I was taught that kindness, respect for all people, honesty, hard work, and accountability for your actions were important values.

I was also taught that education and hard work would allow me to be successful.

I learned early there were no free rides.

I loved to play sports, especially baseball, and was a devoted Roberto Clemente fan.

Thank you.

And from the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, an award presented by members first federal credit union.

Please welcome David Court, member of the buyers and board chair.

Eight days away from.

Home early in life.

I was encouraged to study and do well in schools, but I didn't like going to school.

Eventually, Lee Swimming chose me as a sport in which I would excel.

I went to a Division one school on a swimming scholarship.

I got a free education.

I had an opportunity and I barely met the entrance requirements.

College was not easy.

There were many obstacles to overcome but thanks to hard work, focus, talent, athletic ability and a benevolent coach and the help of kindness of many.

I graduated.

I went on and got a graduate degree and served in the military throughout my career.

I have experienced many obstacles and setbacks, but I stayed focused.

Nothing.

Nothing came easy.

I stumbled many times.

God has blessed me and allowed me to overcome the many obstacles and be here today as the CEO of St Luke's.

What have I learned?

Family and health are important.

Never, never take your family for granted.

Take care of yourself.

Treat others as you would like to be treat And always do the right thing.

And don't worry about being right.

As Roberto Clemente said so many years ago.

Any time you have an opportunity to make a difference in this world and you don't, then you are wasting your time on earth.

Thanks.

And now for the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Awards presented by members first Federal Credit Union.

Please welcome Chamber Board member Anna meyers and board chair A.J.

Flair.

Oh.

Oh.

Good evening, everybody.

Thanks for being here tonight.

You know, I had prepared a few comments, but I'm just going to briefly share a quick thought from the heart.

It was about a year ago this time that I came on as a board member for the Hispanic Chamber.

And, you know, at the time, PBS 39 had just broadcast a first bilingual debate.

And I remember that at that time her non Cordova, who was co-hosting our gala, said, you know what, next year you should just get them to televise the whole thing.

And here we are.

So give yourselves a hand.

Thank you, PBS 39 for televising this important event for our community.

So our first award tonight is the Hispanic Chamber Rising Interpreter Award.

It is given to an individual who is an ambitious leader under 30 who is building, sustaining a successful and dynamic business.

Our 2022 award winner is just 18 years old.

He is a Lehigh Valley native who recently graduated from Bethlehem Catholic High School.

He's the Latino interpreter who believes in working smart and investing in his business.

Although his young, he surrounds himself with wise counsel from leaders, and that has propelled his business to succeed.

It's a success.

Have a look at this video, please, to learn more about how the Anthony is getting his kicks from kicks.

Hey, I'm Danny Santiago.

I'm wondering the senior bucks in the valley.

I'm also a student in Northampton Community College.

Growing up, I was always into sneakers.

Is a part of my culture.

We look up, we see these basketball players LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and, you know, we look up to these guys.

They all have their signature shoe.

These are the shoes that we are one now being able to own this thing.

So it's almost so surreal because every shoe that every one and I never thought was feasible.

It's all in my hands now.

Most my goal for senior bucks is a franchise.

I just want to be able to cater to all different types of demographics.

Make every person that comes in here feel welcome, I think are the best experience possible.

And just at the end of the day, just be able to keep expanding upon what we we already built.

If I can give any young entrepreneur advice, I'd say your situations either make you or break you.

So just having a strong mental mindset and be able to push through your trials and tribulations will only make you a better person for the man you are yet to be.

I'm proud to be as many.

You know, hard work is instilled in our blood.

So.

That being said, being a young entrepreneur, you can't be what you can't see.

So I hope I can inspire young Latino entrepreneurs to motivate them, inspire them, and follow their dreams.

We're so excited that in a day and time where we hear so many negative things related to our youth, we have young people who are doing great and amazing things.

Would you help me welcome De'anthony Santiago taking.

Thank you.

Good evening, everyone.

First and foremost, I would love to thank the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce for giving me the honor to receive this award.

Next, I would like to thank my team.

Without them, no, this would be possible.

Just a year and a half ago, I was 16 years old.

You know, I just had a dream.

And if you told me then that I'd be speaking from this large audience today, I would've never believed you.

I mean, I would never, though even feasible.

Now, you know, this award means a lot more than the service to me, hopefully.

And I do believe that I can inspire movie and uplift young Latino entrepreneurs.

Yeah.

Now, so I was thinking, right, I want to document this night for years to come.

I think the appropriate thing would be to take a selfie.

Are you guys down for that?

Is that cool?

Yeah.

All right, let's do it.

As cool as you guys.

All right, let's do it.

All right.

Thank you, guys, once again.

And let's have a good night.

Thank you, Anthony.

Now we go from youth to experience.

We're going to honor two people who have been involved in our community for many years.

But to do that, I'm going to ask two of our additional board members to come out.

I want my co-chair to come out.

Where's Tony Fernandez and the bank man?

David, I Betty.

Thank you, A.J..

The Hispanic Chamber Community Partner Award is given to individual or individuals that have demonstrated a long standing dedication to the improvement of the community.

They emanate a work ethic and a selflessness that further pushes them towards the collective goal of improving our community.

But I'm not just floored.

And Robert Velez lead the Puerto Rican culture preservation a513 non-for-profit here in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

They spread the love of the body, got.

Roots.

In the culture.

Flores helped to organize relief efforts after Hurricane Maria and 2017 earthquakes in January of 2020 and most recently after Hurricane Fiona.

Just last week, she helps the local Puerto Rican community maintain a sense of connection to their island heritage.

And through her work with PRC.

Robert believes that you have to know where you are from to know where you are going.

He is devoted to the community, especially the next generation.

He believes by teaching, guiding and investing time in our children.

We are building a solid foundation for our future leaders.

Check out the video to learn about their impactful work.

We have our office here at the executive charter school.

We're open to to work with anyone.

In 1991, the parade started and went all the way down to 2008.

Unfortunately, it fell apart.

I moved from Puerto Rico.

I knew a lot of people from other cultures, but I'm not in town.

I don't see the barricades.

I don't see flags.

Caesar.

My goodness.

What is the poor economy here?

We saw people were separated.

How can we get our community to work together?

We started as the Puerto Rican parade on 2012, I believe are the activities that we have?

Are the children faster as if we have to operate impossible for the adults?

So I like to for the children, give out bikes and everything and this is all free.

And throughout the whole year we sell food to run the organization.

The president of the organization.

What he's doing.

Oh, my goodness.

Rice and beans right here.

If you are a good leader, you are going to work in your community.

You are going to make the difference in your community.

My hope for the next generation is to don't forget where they come from and then live in legacy of integrity and leadership.

It's very important because we have to work with our children and our community.

You've got to know where you're from to know where you're going.

I feel so proud, so proud to be born and raised in Puerto Rico is God gave me another opportunity and asked me where you want to be born again.

I going to say Puerto Rico.

Floral and Robert Velez, please come up to accept your award.

Wow.

Wow.

How can that be?
