SAN BERNARDINO >> Cal State San Bernardino President Tomás D. Morales and the CSUSB Latino Education and Advocacy Days (LEAD) welcomed newly appointed Head Consul of Mexico in San Bernardino Enrique Salomon Rosas Ramirez. “We are truly honored and delighted to welcome Consul Rosas to the inland region,” Morales said. “I look forward to working with him. Cal State San Bernardino and the Mexican consulate have a long history of working together on issues that are of vital importance to the Latino and immigrant populations.” The community welcome was held in the Obershaw Dining Room in the university’s Upper Commons. “The regional stakeholder communities of San Bernardino and Riverside counties, alongside elected and appointed officials, dignitaries, and prominent organizational and business leaders wish to extend the warmest of welcomes to the newly incoming chief consul of Mexico,” said Enrique G. Murillo Jr., executive director of LEAD. Rosas commented on the relationship between Mexico and the United States. “Mexico and the United States share history and cultural heritage, even blood ties,” Rosas said. “We are part of a regional and binational community that every day becomes more prosperous, and by making the best of our combined strengths and advantages, also becomes more competitive.” Rosas, 54, has held a number of positions in the Mexican federal government, serving as head of the federal anti-poverty program Solidaridad in Mexico City; head of the executive management and budget committee of Solidaridad; chief of staff to the Head of Delegations of the Ministry of Social Development; advisor to the Undersecretary of Regional Development in the Ministry of Management and Budget of Mexico; deputy delegate of government and legal affairs for the towns of Coyoacan and Milpa Alta in Mexico City; and advisor to the corporate management office of PEMEX, the Mexican state-owned petroleum company. He also served as a congressman in the LXI Legislature, as coordinator of the state of San Luis Potosi’s caucus, chairman of the Food Scarcity Commission and a member of the finance commission. He was also clerk to the Second Committee of the Interior in the Federal Senate’s LIV Legislature and chief of staff to the chair of the Justice Commission of Federal Congress in the LII Legislature. At the state government level, Rosas served as an adviser to the governor of San Luis Potosi, head of the Strategy and Planning, Office of the Governor of Tamaulipas; liaison in Mexico City of the state of San Luis Potosi; and chief of staff to the Representative of the Government of Puebla in Mexico City. He also held a number of positions in the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) including: political linking coordinator in Enrique Peña Nieto’s presidential campaign; head of alliances of the National Committee; member of the National Commission for Internal Processes; general delegate to Tamaulipas and San Luis Potosi; special delegate to the state of Baja California, Guerrero, Nayarit, Hidalgo, Yucatán; and national political adviser.
