WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Fundacion Azteca and the Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institute (CHLI) are pleased to announce the presentation of an "Outstanding Achievement Award" to Arthur Estopinan, Chief of Staff of the office of Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, for over two decades of dedication to congressional service.

"Arthur is not only my Chief of Staff, but also a friend and trusted counselor. His many years working on the Hill have shown me that his dedication, commitment and love of community are unmatched," said Congresswoman Ros-Lehtinen (FL-18). "Through his tireless work and advocacy of issues, he is advancing an agenda for South Florida that will benefit the constituents I so proudly represent. I congratulate him for this award because he has not only earned it but he embodies it through his work."

"The Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institute is honored to take a moment to recognize the many contributions and service Hispanic staffers provide to the United States Congress and, in turn, the American people," said Octavio A.
