Mario Contreras Quotations

We want to help Odessa succeed. Our intent is to educate people, not so they can speak for us, but so they can speak for themselves.

The results (of the assessment) indicated the need for strategic initiatives. As leaders we must work together to address the needs of our entire community.

All of us want to succeed. Very few of us get the knowledge that allows us to succeed in the marketplace. I believe that Odessa has the core resources that allow us to compete.

The Odessa Chamber of Commerce has graciously opened its office space and provided the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce with office space. While autonomous, we will work together.
