Bill > H5808

This resolution honors Victor M. Mendoza, a Dominican immigrant who came to the United States in 1969 and made significant contributions to the Hispanic community in Rhode Island over four decades. The resolution highlights Mendoza's journey from arriving in the country at age 20, working multiple factory jobs, and pursuing education at New Hampshire College, where he earned a Bachelor's degree in Human Services. Recognizing his community leadership, the resolution emphasizes Mendoza's founding and co-founding of four important organizations, including the Coalition of Hispanic Organizations of Rhode Island, the Hispanic Cultural Arts Committee, the Hispanic Political Action Committee, and the State Latin American Arts Exhibition. The House of Representatives formally thanks Mendoza for his distinguished public service and directs the Secretary of State to send him a certified copy of the resolution, acknowledging his decades of work in promoting Hispanic culture, employment opportunities, and political representation in Rhode Island.
