The Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce celebrated their annual Alegria Ball and Excelencia Hispanic Business Awards at the Lucy February 23. An Oscar-like atmosphere is felt once you enter into the ballroom. But this is not about who wins best actor or actress. These are individuals who are honored for dedicating their time and efforts to uplift a business, a community – a culture. This years event honored Dr. Damian Fernandez as Hispanic Professional of the Year for his outstanding work while serving as chancellor at Penn State University in Abington.
