                        Tuesday, April 11, 2000

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, today I honor Gilbert Servin, the 
outgoing President of the Central California Hispanic Chamber of 
Commerce. The Central California Hispanic Chamber of Commerce 
(C.C.H.C.C.) is the largest Hispanic business organization in the 
Central Valley.
  Servin, a founding Board member of the C.C.H.C.C., was the California 
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce President for one year. Along with his 
achievements as President of the Central California Hispanic Chamber of 
Commerce, Mr. Servin was also elected to serve for two years as 
treasurer for the State Hispanic Chamber.
  Gilbert Servin graduated from California State Polytechnic University 
in Pomona in March 1976. For the next fifteen years he was employed by 
the Clinicas de Salud Del Pueblo, In., in Brawley, California, as a 
Business Manager and Assistant Executive Director. In 1980 Gilbert 
Servin accepted the opportunity of serving as Business Manager for 
United Health Centers of San Joaquin Valley, Inc., a considerably 
larger health center.
  Gilbert Servin's experience and expertise, obtained while employed by 
the United Health Centers and the Clinicas de Salud, propelled him to 
become an independent consultant in healthcare financing and management 
in March of 1983. In addition, Gilbert Servin, CEO for CAGSI 
International (previously Gilbert Servin Associates), and his highly 
experienced staff provide professional services in the preparation of 
financial feasibility studies. Currently, Gilbert Servin has focused 
his efforts in expanding its services to assist local governments and 
community groups in financing projects. These projects will promote 
economic development, with an emphasis on rural areas.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to honor Gilbert Servin as the outgoing President 
of the Central California Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. I urge my 
colleagues to join me in wishing Gilbert Servin many more years of 
continued success.
