During National Hispanic Heritage Month，we honor the contributions made throughout our history by the Hispanic and Latinx community.We strive to highlight the rich diversity that strengthens our workplace.This year，we invite you to reflect on the power of our differences and the impact we can make when and weture。

The national theme，Esperanza:A Celebration of Hispanic Heritage and Hope，challenges us to envision a great future knowing that our hope and resilience can lead us there.Hope and resilience helpus maintain an optimistic outlook in the face of adversity and give us the motivation to take action and make proess。

Our hero image is inspired by an image created by Ms.Adriana Castillo，Human Rights Activist and Child Development Specialist who stated:

“Humanity is going through very painful moments caused by the pandemic，but we must remember that after the storm comes the calm.In this portrait，we can appreciate a hand that raises the flags of Hispanics together with people of different ethnicties looking towards a majestic rainboat renther Hospe！”The thing that characterizes us as Hispanics is that no matter what storms we go through，we always look up and know that life will be dressed in colors like a shiny rainbow in the sky.”

Cultural observances provide opportunities forus to appreciate and cultivate our shared values。Shared values empower communities，and when combined with hope，resilience，and purpose，can lead us on a path toward progress.During this observance， I am reminded that every life has value and that appreciating our common humanity has the power to shape a better world。
