Gala Events Recognize Hispanic and Asian
American and Pacific Islander Leaders and Heritage
Global nutrition company Herbalife is proud to sponsor the
annual galas of the Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institute
(CHLI) and Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional
Studies (APAICS) taking place this week in Washington, D.C.
Herbalife supports both organizations’ leadership development
programs and serves on their advisory bodies.
The CHLI Annual Gala and Leadership Awards will take place
Wednesday, May 13. The event will recognize former President of
Colombia, Álvaro Uribe Vélez, with the International Relations
Award. Jeb Bush, former governor of Florida, will also be honored
with the Leadership in Public Service Award. Herbalife supports
CHLI’s fellowship program for Hispanic youth. In addition, the
company serves on CHLI’s Corporate Advisory Board.
Herbalife is also sponsoring the annual APAICS Awards Gala
Dinner on Thursday, May 14. The event, which coincides with Asian
Pacific American Heritage Month, honors Asian American and Pacific
Islander (AAPI) individuals and organizations that politically
empower the AAPI community. U.S. Surgeon General Vice Admiral Dr.
Vivek Murthy will present the keynote address and former President
George H.W. Bush will receive a lifetime achievement award.
Herbalife has sponsored the event for the past two years. The
company also serves on APAICS’s National Advisory Council and hosts
APAICS congressional fellows at its Washington, D.C. office.
“Herbalife is a company dedicated to empowering communities
through opportunities for a better life. The work of APAICS and
CHLI embody this principle and lay the groundwork for future
generations of diverse leadership that will drive the success of
our country,” said Angela Arboleda, Herbalife vice president for
government and community affairs. Arboleda continued, “These
partnerships are important to Herbalife because they reflect the
communities where we live and the global marketplace we serve. We
congratulate CHLI and APAICS on their galas and look forward to
celebrating their success.”
“CHLI appreciates Herbalife’s partnership in working to open
doors for Hispanic youth,” said CHLI’s executive director, Mary Ann
Gomez. “Through Herbalife’s support for our internship and youth
leadership programs, we are providing life-changing experiences in
the nation’s capital for Hispanic students who may not otherwise be
exposed to the inner workings of Congress. Together we are building
the next generation of Hispanic leadership.”
“Herbalife recognizes the importance of diverse voices being
part of the decision-making process and we appreciate their support
of this year’s APAICS Awards Gala Dinner and our congressional
fellowship program,” said Floyd Mori, APAICS’s president and CEO.
“From Congress to statehouses to city councils to the White House,
our leaders must include AAPI communities and others that make up
the vibrancy of this country. We look forward to continued
collaboration with Herbalife in pursuit of this important
mission.”
