OUR MISSION - STAY FOCUSED
We must stay focused on our mission and the positive change we are effecting for the betterment of the Hispanic Community.

She felt our work was duplicative to what the industry was doing. It was a good conversation. But in the end, she understood the value we add to what industry does, plus all the work we do that companies do not. She was impressed.

LEAVING HOME, HISPANIC ENGINEER FINDS SHPE, CAREER
Juan Salgado was eight years old when he moved with his mother from a village in the hills of El Salvador—a place with no running water and minimal electricity—to the town of Coatepeque, about 15 miles from the city of Santa Ana.
