The U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) presented Hispanic BIC President Michael Barrera this year’s award at its annual gala in Denver, Colorado. The Ganas Award is given by the USHCC to individuals who have demonstrated commitment and dedication to the Hispanic business community and the USHCC.

During the ceremony Mr. Barrera, a former President of the USHCC, also accepted the award on behalf of his father, the late Richard Barrera, one of the founders of the USHCC. Jose Nino, another past USHCC President, also received the award. Mr. Barrera is the second member of the Hispanic BIC team to receive this prestigious award, as founder and Chairman Sal Gomez received the initial Hector V. Barreto, Sr. award.

More than 80 Hispanic leaders, entrepreneurs and city officials attended the Hispanic BIC’s Business Forum in Denver on September 3 at the Mi Casa Resource Center for Women. The Forum featured panelists from the U.S. ARMY, the SBA, IMPACT-O and the City of Denver. Procurement, financing, managing crisis and viral marketing dominated the conversation. Hispanic BIC thanks its generous sponsors Western Union, U. S. ARMY, Department of Labor, Microsoft and Nissan USA, and local partners the Denver Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and Mi Casa Resource Center for Women.
