The Connie Mendoza Administrators Luncheon was held on Wednesday, April 25th. This event was in honor of Ms. Maria Consuelo “Connie” Mendoza. Connie was the Finance Director of the Del Rio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce before her untimely death. She had a dream of hosting an event to show appreciation to the Administrative Assistants who play an important role in the success of the businesses in Del Rio. This year, we made her dream a reality. Mr. Gilbert Granados from the John Maxwell Team was the keynote speaker. We also presented the Administrative Assistant of the Year Award to Paola Rocha who is the Administrative Assistant at the HEB business office.
