Kodak's Stevan Ramirez & Antonio Perez Named in Tech's '50 Most Important Hispanics' for 2005
The editors of Hispanic Engineer & Information Technology magazine have selected Stevan Ramirez & Antonio
Perez of Eastman Kodak Company for the prestigious 50 Most Important
Hispanics in Technology and Business list for 2005.
 Honorees are chosen for this annual list because of their outstanding work
in the field of technology and their leadership of the institutions that
reside there. This list includes many of the nation’s highest-achieving
Hispanic executives, managers, and researchers in industry, government, and
academia. These are women and men who have demonstrated leadership on a broad front, not only in the workplace but in their communities as well.
During the year that the list is publicized, its members are presented to
young people as role models, and the honorees' accomplishments are upheld
as examples of the important, often unrecognized contributions made on a
daily basis by the thousands of Hispanics in technology-related jobs.
Perez and Ramirez made the list in 2004, and Ramirez was first named to the
list in 2003.
The 50 Most Important Exemplars will gather this year for a colloquium and
awards dinner where increasing minority entrepreneurship, executive
development, and educational readiness for the "Digital Economy" will be
discussed. The event will be held on September 16th, 2005 in Baltimore, MD,
as a high point of the Minorities in Research Sciences Conference, the
premier career development and employee recognition event for minorities in
the areas of research science and technology.
The honorees will be featured in the April/May issue of Hispanic Engineer&Information Technology magazine, which is distributed to engineering
colleges and universities with high Hispanic enrollments; Hispanic -
engineering, IT, and science professionals; and high-level government and
industry policy makers and executives across the country.
Hispanic Engineer & Information Technology magazine is published by Career
Communications Group, Inc. (CCG), a minority-owned talent management and
career development company whose mission is to promote career and
educational opportunities for minority professionals and students in
engineering, technology, and science. CCG also publishes three other
