Liberty Power’s Continued Success Proves Supplier Diversity is Sound Strategic Investment

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – June 19, 2008Liberty Power, today announced that Eliezer Hernandez, Chief Relationship Officer, spoke at the 25th annual Edison Electric Institute Supplier Diversity Conference. The conference was held Wednesday, May 21st at The Grand Hyatt, Denver, Colorado.

Before a question and answer session, Hernandez addressed the audience by urging diverse suppliers to continue to network at Supplier Diversity events, but not to rely solely on doing business with companies that have well-established Supplier Diversity programs. Supplier Diversity programs are business programs that encourage the use of previously underutilized minority-owned vendors.

Liberty Power continues to demonstrate a strong presence in the realm of Supplier Diversity. Last month, Liberty Power was honored with JCPenney’s “Bill Alcorn Supplier Diversity Award”. Additionally, Liberty Power CEO, David Hernandez recently delivered the keynote address at the Florida Regional Minority Business Council Business Expo.

These honors provide yet another example of how the Hernandez brothers, fellow co-founder, Alberto Daire, and Liberty Power continue to be recognized as leaders in the minority-business community. Last year, Liberty Power was named the fastest growing Hispanic-business in the United States by Hispanic Businessmagazine.
