Mobile, Alabama - Hispanic Professionals from around the Gulf Coast gathered at The Battle House Hotel in Downtown Mobile for the First Annual Meeting of the Hispanic American Business Association of the Gulf Coast.

The sold out event gave professionals with Hispanic backgrounds a chance to network and socialize with other Latinos.

HABA honored Golden Stevedoring, a family enterprise founded by two brothers, Roger Gonzalez and Edgard Gonazalez along with their wives Luisa and Norma.

HABA also honored Providence Hospital for its outreach program, The Guadalupe Center.


Money raised tonight will help fund scholarships and support literacy programs.

WKRG News 5's Rose Ann Haven also celebrated her hispanic heritage by serving as mistress of ceremonies.

I’ve always thought she has an amazing voice.  I’ll never forget the first time I saw her in that scene from Mulhollan Drive.  She started to sing Roy Orbison’s “Crying” a cappella and jaws dropped.

Rebeka Del Rio has a beautiful voice!

Lee308-while I agree with your overall theory, I think I would change the name of the group though. Your acronym reads WEMP. Just saying….wink

White European Male Professionals?  I thought that was known as the Chamber of Commerce.

I just have one question…Did they check green cards?

Lee308…I can just imagine if there were a meeting of white European Male Professionals,every
minority of every nationality would be protesting in the streets!

I think its time to have a meeting of White European Male Professionals from around the Gulf Coast and see how that is reported!
