EDINBURG– Letty Gonzalez, President of the Edinburg Chamber of Commerce, was inducted into the Rio Grande Valley Walk of Fame on Thursday, March 3rd at State Farm Arena.
Letty Gonzalez was nominated by the Edinburg Chamber of Commerce for her service and dedication not only to the Chamber, but the City of Edinburg and other various organizations. She began her career at the Edinburg Chamber as a Clerk and has worked her way up the ladder learning the important roles of each position in the Chamber. Gonzalez has since dedicated over 29 years of service to the Chamber and has now served as the Chamber President for 16 years.
Gonzalez has also served as the Edinburg Kiwanis President for two consecutive years and was a member for seven years. She was also selected to serve on the Doctor’s Hospital at Renaissance Cancer Foundation and the E.C.I.S.D. Excellence in Education Selection Committee.
Each year nominations are received from cities and chambers of commerce across the Valley, and then the inductees are recognized at the ceremony with a brick paver. This year each inductee was presented with a commemorative plaque as a substitute since each honoree will have their name added on a wall inside State Farm Arena. Each honoree was presented with a commemorative plaque. Hundreds attended the 2016 ceremony where over 30 persons were inducted into the Walk of Fame.
“Recognition by the RGV Walk of Fame is a validation and appreciation of one’s hard work and commitment to excellence,” says Marty Martin, Edinburg Chamber of Commerce Chairman of the Board. “She’s a proven leader that has always put the business and local community first.”
