                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 10, 2008

  Mr. CARSON of Indiana. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor Marco 
Dominguez, who as the station manager/anchor of WIIH-Univision for 
Indiana has become one of the most visible and influential advocates 
for the Latino community in Indianapolis.
  Marco began his Indiana broadcasting career as the director of 
productions for WTBU, Butler University's television station, before 
moving to WIIH, Indiana's only Spanish television station. Later, amid 
increasing racial tensions, he founded Community Link, a program 
devoted to Latino and African American news. This program has helped to 
bring awareness to the needs and achievements of minorities and has 
improved relations across the city. In 2004, the United States Small 
Business Administration recognized his successful work on behalf of the 
Latino community by nominating him for the Indiana Small Business 
Journalist of the Year Award.
  Marco's advocacy expands beyond broadcasting. Having developed a 
reputation for service, he receives thousands of requests for 
assistance from the Indianapolis immigrant community, which he 
diligently works to grant. Additionally, as an active member of 
organizations including the Indianapolis Press Club Foundation, Better 
Business Bureau, United Way Central Indiana Committee on Diversity, 
Latino Coalition Against Domestic & Sexual Violence, and the Indiana 
Minority Health Coalition, Marco provides a strong voice for the needs 
of Latinos across Indianapolis.
  Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in thanking Marco Dominguez, 
whose efforts have helped countless Latinos become an integral part of 
our city. He should serve as an example to community leaders 
everywhere.
