Washington, D.C.
– VARCom Solutions announces that its President, Raul
Danny Vargas, a recognized Northern Virginia business
leader, was nominated to serve on a commission to study
the creation of a National Museum of the American
Latino.
Signed into law by President Bush on May 8, 2008 as
part of the Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 2008,
the 23-member Commission will study the potential
creation of a National Museum of American Latino
Heritage in Washington, D.C. and will provide a report
back to Congress detailing its recommendations
(including a fund-raising plan).
House Minority Leader John Boehner recently appointed
Mr. Vargas at the urging of Congressman Wolf, who
emphasized Vargas’ contributions to the business
community and his service to the region and the country.
“I
was very proud to nominate Danny for this important
commission,” said Wolf. He added, “I have no doubt that
he will serve with distinction and will continue to be a
positive role model not only for Hispanics but for all
Americans who aspire to overcome adversity, achieve
success and give back to their communities.”
A
U.S. Air Force veteran, Mr. Vargas is the founder and
President of VARCom Solutions, a Herndon, Virginia-based
marketing and public relations consulting firm. In
addition, Mr. Vargas served as the Chairman of the
Dulles Regional Chamber of Commerce (the first Hispanic
to chair a traditional chamber in the history of
Virginia), National Chairman of the Republican National
Hispanic Assembly, founder the of the Hispanic GovCon
Network and a member of the board of directors of the
Northern Virginia Family Service.
“It is truly an honor to serve as a commissioner on
this important initiative, and I so appreciate the
support from Congressman Wolf and Leader Boehner,”
stated Vargas. “Hispanics have played a pivotal role in
America’s history going back to the voyages of Columbus.
It is my hope that this museum will serve to highlight
these contribution and to provide Hispanic youth with a
perspective on what they can strive to achieve.”
Mr. Vargas has received numerous awards for his
community service and business achievements and has been
an important voice on issues of major importance to the
Hispanic community, the business community and national
politics.
Members of the commission are appointed by the White
House, Senate Majority and Minority Leaders, the Speaker
of the House, and the House Minority Leader. Mr. Vargas
will serve on the commission along with other prominent
Hispanics from across the country, including actress and
philanthropist, Eva Longoria Parker.
