CEPA Conference
Speaking Out About CEPA

As a student in my
final year of a Business Administration degree at the University of Central
America, I would like to both thank and congratulate you for this marvelous
program. My country is surrounded by problems which represent great obstacles
in our ability to face the risks and opportunities which confront us at
the beginning of this new millennium. My experience at the seminar has
filled me with great hope-thanks to this conference I have seen how all
the interrelated groups in society are willing to work together to present
a united front. I saw how topics which were once matters of dispute in
our world are now transformed into the elements which will forge our destiny
as part of a globalized society. It is also a source of personal joy to
know that there are people like Dr. Rodríguez and his outstanding
team of colleagues who, though far removed from our daily lives, are still
concerned and ready to help us by traveling from their country to unselfishly
share their knowledge with us. In today's dehumanized world, where the
meaning of cooperation is left behind in the wake of rampant personal
ambition, this work is truly worth of admiration. On behalf of my country
El Salvador, I want you to know that your efforts have not fallen on arid
ground-on the contrary, your words have been the seed which will be multiplied
by the efforts of everyone who has benefited from your work. |
