HENAAC Promoting Careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics

HENAAC Luminary Honorees

The caliber of HENAAC nominees continues to reflect the highest levels of excellence

as more Hispanic STEM professionals advance to the forefront of their organizations.

Initiated in 2004 to bring additional role models to our nation, the Luminary Honorees

celebrates and recognizes individuals who are leading, collaborating and initiating key

programs and research within their respective organizations.

Luminary honorees share three common factors:

1) They are highly respected by their peers and management

2) They are valuable authorities in their fields

3) They are blazing the trail for future generations of engineers and scientist

Individuals cannot be nominated for the Luminary category; they are selected from

the submissions received for all of the standard nominations categories.
