Southwest Airlines Provides Free Travel to CHCI Leadership Program Students
Southwest Airlines today announced a commitment to the future through a partnership with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI). As the official airline for the Public Policy Fellowship Programs, participants in CHCI's educational and youth leadership development programs will receive complimentary Southwest Airlines travel to achieve a higher education, gain leadership skills, and grow as professionals. Most importantly, the participants will not be burdened with the worry of travel expenses.
"We know the leaders involved in CHCI's programs have a lot to offer our communities and future. We applaud this next generation of leaders who will carry us forward," said Lidia S. Martinez, Southwest Airlines' Corporate Community Affairs Manager. "I am proud Southwest Airlines is investing in their success and helping them reach their full potential. For us, success is making things happen for others."
"Our young leaders represent diverse communities across the nation. The expense of their travels should not hinder their access to all that Washington, DC, offers, and all that they have to offer Washington, DC," said Esther Aguilera, CHCI President and CEO. "Thanks to Southwest's generous in- kind support, our Fellows will not only continue to grow as strong, effective professionals in our nation's capital, but also return to their home communities armed with the leadership skills to carry them forward."
