Yesterday, to help kickoff Hispanic Heritage Month, our community came together to honor Julio Sáenz as RHBA’s 2026 Hispanic Business Person of the Year. Leaders from across the City of Rochester and Monroe County joined us alongside voices from nonprofits, education, marketing, financial services, civic engagement, media, real estate, and law to celebrate Latino leadership and the connections that keep our community growing stronger together.
A special thank you to our keynote speaker, Chris Hastings, President and CEO of WXXI, for sharing his insight with the room.
Congratulations again to Julio Sáenz on this well-deserved honor, and thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate!
Thank you to all who attended, and a special thanks to our program participants and sponsors!
Be sure to support our event sponsors!
