“It is an honor, yet humbling, to receive this award. I want to congratulate the other recipients as well as thank the VEL Institute for the recognition. I also want to thank my fellow board members with the Montgomery County Hispanic Chamber for their support,” said Lopez. Though busy operating his business that he launched in November 2021, Miguel accepted the role of board chair for the Montgomery County Hispanic Chamber in August 2022. He and the board have been working tirelessly to ensure the MCHC provides value to its members and the community. Julio Resendez, MCHC Board Secretary shared “I couldn’t be more proud of Miguel for this recognition. If there is anyone who best exemplifies both the Chambers & VEL’s values of leadership, entrepreneurship and desire to connect like-minded individuals, it’s our Chairman Miguel.”
