会见老友


週一上午和衣索比亚驻休斯总总领事卡比地大使及环球第一银行董事长J.P. 朴一起前往市中心赫里斯郡政府总部,拜会郡政府委员艾利斯, 老友相见甚欢。


艾利斯是非裔族群非常𠍇出之政治领袖及民意代表 ,他一路从当选市议员 、州参议员一直到成為郡委员, 都是高票当选。


在今天之会见中, 我们讨论了许多有关社区面对之问题, 尤其是郡政府如何加强和社区银行之合作, 他极力主张政府应该透过社区银行给予少数族裔在商业贷款之服务。 其中包括请求各大学区及各级政府应该把一些存款存到社区银行,以便有更多资金应用到小额商业贷款,有利於社区经济之繁荣。


赫里斯郡是全美人口眾多之行政区, 由五位委委及郡长共同主持政务。 多年来, 外来人口不断涌入, 经济也随之蓬勃发展。


我们和艾利斯委员己经结识多年, 他对於社区治安及经济发展十分关心, 此次会面将继续探讨金融、治安之各项问题。


 Meeting With An Old Friend


Monday morning we visited Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis' office with Honorable Ethiopian Consul General Kebede and Chairman of Global One Bank J.P. Park.


Commisioner Ellis is our old friend and he is one of the outstanding political leaders in the city. Over the years he has been elected with high voter support as a City Councilman, State Senator and Harris County Commisioner.


In today's meeting we discussed many problems now being faced by our community, especially how the county government can strengthen cooperation with local community banks. He suggested that all the local governments should deposit some funds into local community banks and help many small, local businesses empower the local community economy to grow.


With the arrival of more newcomers moving into our county, we need to also create more jobs for them.


We have known Commisioner Ellis for many years. He is also very concerned about our community's public security and economic issues. This meeting will be continued in the future.
